contacted by text about interest in sale of boat then asked for me to email what price we would take, which i did then got a email back saying he will buy but no phone as he works for nz oil and gas in an isolated spot of nz he wanted paypal or account details so he can send the money over and he also has a courier ready to pick up boat and take it to Darwin where he lives. Sounds to good to be true. So has not continued contact with him!

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.
