Scammer offered to buy my advertised bike without seeing it, saying they would send a courier to pick it up. he claimed to work on an oil rig and couldn\'t call becaus etheir satellite was down due to bad weather!
The grammar was bad enough to send warning signals but I had this message the last time I did an online ad.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
The guy just wanted to buy our car. Used two different email accounts... pretty strange. can't really say if it's a scam. but the story was 100% as above. Even though the weather is really nice at the moment.

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.
