I am a first time seller on the internet. Received a sms on my mobile regarding interest in buying my IPad. As a first time seller, it excites me when there is a buyer who wants to buy the product I am selling. Response to the e-mail address given in the sms. The e-mail reply was found in my mail box spam folder 2 days later. Everything in the e-mail seems convincing except for the country which the product was supposed to be sent - Africa. Having read a lot of scams coming from Africa including the famous Nigerian scam on inheriting will etc, I became suspicious and checked the net about people posing as oceanographer. Based as posting in this website, I should deduced this as a fake and forgo about selling to the buyer.

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.
