This person emailed me this email: *** THIS IS TOTAL SCAM*** I googled his email address and found all these scam sites & that is how I saw this site. ********************************************************************************************************** Subject: Payment has been made I am glad to inform you that I have made the payment to your PayPal account and you ought to have received the payment confirmation from PayPal by now. Kindly remove the ads and check your PayPal email address for the payment receipt. I had a little problem with paypal when making the payment, they insisted that i should add the shipping fee to the payment since am paying for a vehicle, they said its for a verification procedure or something. So l included $1470.00 USD that the mover charge for the pick up and shipping fee and $30 for the Money Gram charges you will use to send it to the mover, thats additional $1,500 plus your asking price, PayPal will instruct you on how to get the shipping fee sent to the mover. The Money Gram agent might ask you purpose of sending money at Money Gram office, tell him or her you are sending it to your friend or family, because Money gram charges for friends and family is lower than the one for business or services. I hope you understand that, to avoid additional Money Gram charges. The payment has been made and the money has been fully deducted from my account. Kindly get the shipping fee sent to the name and address below today and send the money transfer proof to PayPal for your account to be credited today. I believe that since payment has been made, the advert should be taken off the site and please do let me know your free date and time so that I can give it to my mover for them to schedule the date and time they will be coming for the pick up in your location.

I received a txt from hsta40@gmail.com saying they saw my ad on Autotrader on a friends phone. They asked me to txt my ad to zackolden@gm. The email stated that "Zack" was on holiday and therefore could only pay by paypal. "Zack" stated a "mover" would be by to pick up the car and do the nessecary paperwork once the paypal payment cleared. Of course "Zack" offered to pay full price for the car, sight unseen. SCAM

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.

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.
