I got two text messages from two "different" people but using exactly same wording "Hi I just viewed your car ad, Pls confirm ur selling price and d condition 2 my email address asap" One was from Nick on the number above - one was from Bidem on Web SMS019. Your site and this response confirmed my suspicion that it was a scam
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.
