Auction/eBay Scam
Gumtree |  +1 David Cole trying to buy my goods online David text me and said was interested in buying my item on Gumtree. Then I emailed him and he wanted to buy it for his son. After a few emails he said that I would receive an email form PayPal informing me that the money is held on my account and I need to go to Money Gram to send it him. PayPal had no recollection if this email or the hold on my account!
It is a complete fraud. |

I had a little problem with the agent they said they can only schedule the pick up date and time after they receive their pick up fee at their headquarter office via money gram transfer,but due to my disabilities on wheelchair now I'm unable to get to a outlet to send it. I added the £320 they charged for the pick up and £30 for the money gram charges,you will receive the total sum of £370.You'll send
£320 to them via money gram today and here is the details needed for the transfer below:
Name: Gloria Joubert
City: coventry state
State: Rhode island
Zip code: 02816
Country: USA
Please get the necessary details sent to PayPal (REFERENCE NUMBER) senders name and address so that they can release the whole funds into your account.l will like you to get back to me regarding suitable time and date for the pickup asap..Please get back to me once done

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.
