Gumtree |  +1 CAR SALE Selling my vehicle.Only a few minutes after it went online, I received a text message asking for firm price of vehicle and a link to an email to respond to.
Last message I received, similar to someone elses on this site , was:
Thanks for the response, i would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work we do not have access to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.What is your last negotiable price?
Am buying this for my son for his 21st birthday. He lives in Darwin presently so is going to be shipped to Darwin after have sorted out with the payment, i want to be sure if it is still in good condition ,i will not be able to come for inspection now all i really need from you is the exact details of the car. I don't mind adding an extra $300.00 for you just to take down the posting.
Due to the nature of my work i am a very busy man working all day,am a sailor am presently on-board, i don't have access to my bank account online as am not with my credit card details here but i have my ANZ bank account link up with my PayPal account so I will be paying you through PayPal to your nominated bank account or better still is if you have a PayPal account ,please get back to me with your BSB and account details or PayPal account so i can proceed with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it in NT for my son .Await your reply .

Within a short time of placing an ad on Carsales, I got an SMS from Bahjat asking if the car is still available and to best contact him on his email address.
There is no mobile number showing on the SMS, only "Bahjat".
After replying to his email, he responds to say that he is buying the car for his son see text below. It is obviously a scam of some sort.

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.
Consider switching off your AdBlocker (if you use one) or contributing directly by one of the links below. Thank you for reading!
