Car sales scam 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Matt Peters
Email Address:
nacrex@live.com
Scam Website:
Fax:
I placed an ad on Trading Post to sell my car then I received the following text message on my phone:
\"Hi, am interested in your car. Pls confirm price & availability to my email address: nacrex@live.com. pls no sms bcos I wont b able to read it. Matt\"
The source of the message is Matt instead of a phone number. The nature of the message and lack of phone number made me suspicious so I googled his details. It turns out that some people who have advertised their car have been contacted by him where he tried to extract personal details and paypal account details from them.

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.
