CarsOnlineFree.com |  +2 Selling a Car They contacted me via text looking for details via email, they were persistent with me providing paypal/bank details prior to viewing the vehicle. The last email as below gave there details which I googled.And it matched word for word others they tried the scam on.
(I would have to come for the inspection i won't be able to come because of the distance between us and my schedule because I work with AWE New Zealand Pty Ltd and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kapo project. We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 15days off and 15days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking.I am already in talks with the courier that will handle the pick-up and delivery it in NT) |

Similar to the last post, I received a text stating that this Nancy person wished to urgently buy my car which is listed on car sales.com. They asked me to contact them via the email address provided above and they persistently asked for my bank account or paypal details so they could make an immediate transfer as they could arrange a courier to collect the car asap. I smelled a rat and searched the email address and this link came up. Thankfully.

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.
