I had a vehicle for sale on Gumtree with my mobile number as a contact. This person text me with an email address they wanted to correspond through and below is the email trail(start from bottom up). I began getting suspicious when they wanted me to pay money to a Western Union account before PayPal (apparently) would release the funds for the vehicle to me. Emails sent via PayPal looked legitimate but obviously weren't. See below...............

I have since blocked this email address and told him that I will be reporting this scam. Sellers beware !!

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.
