After a posted a few item on Gumtree I got a text saying "do you still have the item available and to e-mail annelllson118@gmail.com"
- At first I thought it was a bit weird, because she didn't clarify what the item was and considering I only posted the item on sale 5 hours ago. Then I get another e-mail:
"What other items are you selling"?
- Again I thought that was a bit strange, but thought nothing of it as I am new to gumtree. Then I get another email:

- After sending the e-mail, I decided to search more information on this person and found this page WITH THE EXACT SAME E-MAIL! So I reported the email and rang my bank.
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.
