I emailed back to say I would not use PayPal but would supply my bank details. In the meantime, my friend at work advised me about PayPal scams. So I googled him and your site came up. Interesting, he said I could send my bank details. I wonder how he was going to proceed with the 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.
