Received response to listing on Gumtree by SMS with email address to make contact (jacobsleah87@outlook.com). After making contact about which item he was interested in, he obviously didn\'t know what I had listed but was just after Paypal account details. After some back and forth he sent the following:-
\"Thanks for your response, am satisfied with the price, I am willing to buy it
for my Wife as a Gift. But due to the nature of my job and location, phone
calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to
check this advert and send you an email regarding it and i will like to know
the present condition and the last price. I will not be able to come for
inspection because am a very busy type, i work long hours everyday,i have gone
through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.
As for the payment,i will be paying you via the fastest and secure way to
pay online(PayPal).and as for the pick up i have a private courier agent that
will come for the picking up after the payment have been made .

You can now send me your PayPal email so i can pay in right
away and also include your address.

looking forward to hear you back....\"

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.
