I posted my car for sale on Craigslist. In just a couple hours, I received an email from someone saying the EXACT same thing as in this post. I logged out, then opened another browser to my PayPal account. I forwarded the email to spoof@paypal.com as PayPal requested. Who in their right mind would say they would buy the car, sight unseen, for the full price??? This has SCAM written all over it!
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.
