30/09/2013 Created an ad on Gumtree to sell my wifes car. Received a text from mobile number 61428465117 with the following message:Sent from: helvis I'm interested in your gumtree ad, how much are you willing to sell it.email me at (helvisdatford@gmail.com) the firm price & condition.No reference about what I was selling. As it was within 15 minuted of posting the ad I was quite suspicious.
Searched this name on the net and it appears it is a well known scammer. In fact the above message is identical (apart from the vehicle being sold) to a report here on 22/09/2013.
I suspect that this may not actually be sent from an OZmobile given that Helvis also operates in UK but maybe from SKype or similar program which can use proxy numbers
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.
