I listed my car for sale on cars.com and got a text message from 502-225-3732 at 8:53pm on 5/22/12 as follows (this is the exact message including the sender's typos):
Hi, am interested in your vehicle. Pls confirm the price/availabity to my email address: graphics@contactgray.com. pls no sms bcos I won't b able to read it.
I found this very suspicious since I received this message via SMS yet the sender says not to reply because they won't be able to read it, and then found it listed here on this site - same message under a different phone number. Not to mention all the details about the car are clearly posted on the website. I believe this is a scammer.
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.
