| John Connewarre, Victoria, Australia 2013-05-30 00:22:00 Auction/eBay Scam Gumtree | +1 Email scam After listing a used car on Gumtree, a text message came on the phone. \"Please tell me of the condition of the car and your best price, please contact me at the following email kyliehuitchinson@outlook .com\". I replied and of course I got a message back wanting bank details paypal details as they didn\'t have access to their visa accounts etc etc etc. Needless to say I did not reply and blocked the person or scammer from my inbox. |

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.
