Requesting bank details for paypal payment to purchase boat advertised on Gumtree - sight unseen - same as previous story, as a present for his son - also told he is a marine engineer (didn't give employer name) but just told 20 days on 10 days off - saying he has to contact his agent to pick up the boat once it is paid - total crap - watch out for this guy - how can he still use this email address if he is trying to scam people is what I want to know??
Scam EmailTipoff to this was the fact that he was happy to pay without seeing the item - no one does that! Too keen to use Western Union or find a way to get your banking details - never use Western Union!
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.
