Identical to other scam reported ... Got an email from John Kokai shortly after listing a car on autotrader. Wanted to buy it for his dad as a birthday present - would pay full price - was an oceanographer and didn\'t have a phone. Allegedly paypaled me the full asking price - But... in order to get my money, I had to moneygram the \"mover\" Ken Linville in Redmond, OR $1830 plus $170 for the moneygram fee = $2,000.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
I just received the very same type of email with the same name and story. I just wanted to confirm that this scammer is still out there. Beware people who are selling their car on autotrader.

Contacted me via text asking for photos of the bumper of a car I had for sale. After sending photos he wanted to pay full price for a birthday present for his dad and was willing to pay the extra 3% paypal fees. I didn't take the "transaction" any further than this.

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.
