Bought a $5000 diamond ring off me .. Set up a fake paypal website (which looked all ligit). Sent me an email from paypal saying that to protect the buyers safety paypal will hold the money until the tracking number for postage has been provided. I sent off the item to china and then didn\'t receive my money. Also tried scamming a further $950 off me.
Very smart and cunning

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. 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.
