Auction/eBay Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +1 Craigslist Contacted me about buying Fridge for 750.00....did not want to see the fridge as she "trusted" it was in good working condition. She wanted to pay for it up front via pay pal. When I called the contact number..it was one of those google automated text numbers. Sent a fake invoice with fake address etc.....to see if she would bite...contacted paypal fraud and filed claim. Also contacted authorities and they are back checking both email/phone/text etc......hope they catch this person. If they could try to do this to us, only god knows what they can do to seniors.

This person immediately replied to my Craigslist post of a dining room set for $1200. Wanted to buy it for asking price thru PayPal. After seeing the above post, I told her it was already sold.
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.
