I was offered my asking price for an item listed on CraigsList. Then I was told the person had left for vacation (it was the 4th of July weekend), and his/her assistant had mixed up payments, sending me monies intended for someone else. I assured the person I was no thief and would rip up the checks or return them, if an address would be provided. I was told to deposit the monies, deduct what I was owed, plus $50 for my time, and send the balance to two different addresses in Benin. When I got the alleged Money Grams (in an envelope with no return address) I took them to a local Western Union, where I received confirmation that they were fraudulent. I have received frantic texts and emails as if the person were really serious. I have replied that I will not cash whatever these forms are, he can cancel them, the deal is off, and I will not supply any further information.

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.
