I post an ad for a painting, then mike contack me via message which was sent from GMAIL.COM, there is no specific telephone number that I can reply text back to. He asks me to sent email to arrange the delivery since he is overseas. Also he asks me to set up a paypal account to recieve the payment if I don\'t have one. He says he can pay me by paypal but need me to help him with the delivery charge through sending money via West union to the delivery head office located in Malasia, once I recieved the payment confirmation. I feel very confused why he doesn\'t pay the delivery himself. So I check the email that he contacts me on Google, then I found a lot of scam reports about the same person. Then I sent an email to him that I shall submit all emails to police if necessary, and I would like to cease the deal with him.

Luckly I checked his email in time on this website.
Hopefully this message will help other sellers in the future.

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.
