Classified Ads Scam
Paypal (paypal.com) |  +2 Texting you to email them back and using service@paypal.com as a scam email I sent an invoice through paypal to the buyer requesting money for my item to the value of £180 including postage by DHL couriers. I received an email from beckylucy25@gmail.com on behalf of service@paypal.com on 21st March 2014 stating that I had received a payment pending on tracking number of parcel required. Stupidly I replied to this message thinking it was Verified Paypal email with the tracking number thinking that the money would be then in my paypal account. I contacted paypal and they said this was fraud and they are investigating many of the same types of fraud by different customers. I wanted to report this to save it happening others. I shouldn\'t have sent out the parcel until I had received the money into my proper paypal account. I am so dissapointed that people like this are getting away with this taking on the vunerable. |

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.
