I will like to ask you the following questions.


Are you the real owner?


What is the present condition?

If picture\'s is available you can email them to me.


You don\'t have to bother yourself shipping the dress i will be making payment through PayPal because my bank account is linked to my PayPal account and PayPal is a secured method of payment for both the buyer and seller. kindly email me a PayPal money request invoice direct to my verified PayPal email which is the same as my email address marissapatterson518@yahoo.com.au to proceed with the payment. I believe you can set up a PayPal account easily at www.paypal.com.au if you don\'t have one.looking forward to hear back from you soon.

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.
