Ramond Jak replied to an ad for a used car - thought I would google NZOG to find out if it was genuine. Part of the email has obviously been copied and pasted.

\"Thanks for the response,I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project work, we do not have access to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.

I am buying the item for my first son who just graduated on top of his class at Charles Darwin University in NT ,He studied Building Design & Architecture. I want it to be the perfect graduation gift for him and am making it a surprise package ,Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don\'t mind my asking. I don\'t mind adding an extra $300.00 for you just to take down the posting..I am already in talks with freighters that will handle the pickup and delivery .I will really appreciate if you can email more info

Further to other reports on this name, I was suspicious about this contact (car advertised on several sites including ebay and gumtree) but replied anyway. I can report that the next step is that the alleged buyer wants the car couriered to Darwin and asks you to arrange this on his behalf, saying he will pay you the extra money, in my case $950. You then receive a genuine-looking email claiming to be from Paypal, saying that the money has been debited from the buyer's account but a temporary hold has been placed on it, so that it can't be cleared to your account until you have transferred the "courier" money via Western Union to someone in China. The address given to me was: FIRST NAME HUAN SURNAME XU Address 18 Suhao Building Nanxin Road Nanshan District Shenzhen China

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.
