Was interested in my car for sale on gumtree, I got a text with a name for the number asking me to email him. Said he was at sea and wanted to buy my car for his holiday, had already talked to a courier to take it up to NT. said he had a business paypal account and wanted to pay me ASAP, Way too much info and didnt answer any questions, I got suspicious and looked into it, found this site....

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.
