To Selma P


Thanks for your response, I\'m seriously interested in this posted AD and i will really love to purchase it right away. kindly put off the AD right away and consider me as your favorite buyer. As soon as the payment goes through, I will arrange for a private shipper to come over for picking it up down to my place after payment has been received. I will be making the payment through PayPal as paypal is safe and secured for transactions online, advice soon as I\'m at sea at the moment as a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it. I\'m buying this for my personal use, If this is acceptable kindly get back to me with your paypal email address and the details below so i can proceed with the payment. I can only pay through paypal at the moment as i do not have access to my bank account online,but i have it attached to my paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay all i will need is your paypal email address to make the payments,and if you do not have a paypal account yet,its pretty easy to set one up at www.paypal.com,i will be expecting your email. I will need this following details so i can proceed with the payment

right away

I had this one via autotrader, I copied his text into google and it led me here, the first couple of emails were plausible but this one smelt bad.

I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) since i won't be be able to see this in person. My agent we get to you to sign the trasfer paper as soon as the payment is made and the fund cleared into your account.
I will need this following details so i can proceed with the payment right away

I've had it since November 2007, it was only 10 months old when I bought it.
Price is £3000 ono.
It last had a full service in Jan 2011, and it passed its mot no problem in January of this year. It's not been used much for the last 2.5 years because I work from home now.

Just received a text message to my mobile regarding the sale of my car to e-mail rodneykennedy21@gmail.com being quite unaware I e-mailed him thinking it was a serious buyer. As i was waiting for a reply i decided to google search his e-mail which led me to this website where i found he had sent a suspicious e-mail to another women. I then finally got a reply which was word for word the exact same as hers. Im assuming they are an overseas scam since the mobile number was blocked from viewing in my mobile as well as the dodgy grammar used in the following e-mail:

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.

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.
