Placed ad for my car on Gumtree.
Guy gets in touch wanting to purchase car.
Says its for his son at local university.
Wants to pay straight away via paypal, will organise pickup and delivery as he works away.
sent paypal money request to him and name is different to emails. a 'Korede Olusodo' not a Mattew R Davies.
So googled his email. Scamdex to the rescue. Numerous reports of the same scam.
Cancel the request.
He emails saying he has paid but the courier needs payment now. Tells me he has paid me an extra £350 to sort this out. Had to send money to Western Union or something.
Told him i don't believe this was an actual sale and had nothing since.

SCAM.

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.
