Wallis keithwn@outlook.com scammer phishing for paypal accounts via gumtree and ebay ads

  Information
Name:

Fax:
The scammer sent me a message via "Gumtree" asking if an item was still for sale - if it was, the message asked to email keithwn@outlook.com with confirmation - upon doing so, the email reply I received is as below. The conversation went back and forth about details of paypal email address and it seemed legit, until I received the payment confirmation email from Paypal in my Spam folder - a phishing attempt done fairly well but failed because my spam caught 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.
