I was advertising some furniture on gumtree.com.au and received an sms from Stella (no phone number)
"Hello, is your furniture gown still for sale? advice on ur firm price with condition and email on stellaw2@outlook.com.au for quick response" which, due to the spelling and wording made me suspicious.
I then responded to the email with details of my items and received the email that was identical to the previously reported one. I then checked to see if it was a scam and found this page.

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.
