Desmond contacted me from carsales.com.au via text message. He says his from an oil rig off the NZ coast and wants to buy a car for his son for graduating top of his class in NT. This was the last 2 emails when I realised it was a scam & started my research on the asshole. His email address is desmdgan87@gmail.com. I wasn\'t scammed, red lights came on when he wanted me to pay money prior to funds clearing.

Good Morning Hayden,

Thanks for the understanding ,Please I have just made the payments now and i expected paypal to have emailed by now,please check your spam/junk folder as I sometimes get paypal notification there,I sent $18,400 in all, paypal said they would be holding the funds and it won\'t be credited into your account because of the excess payments of $1,750 i added meant for pick up and delivery,they said they have emailed you to this effect, you will need to send the $1,650 to the freighting company headquarters via western union money transfer,so that paypal can credit the $18,400 into your account as soon as you have emailed the western union details to them, i added extra $100 to cover the western union charges which shouldn\'t be more than $60-80 but just to be sure i added $100, Here is the pick up agent info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer:

Jianan Xu,,

Cheers!

Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
