I posted an ad on Gumtree late last night & early this morning I started receiving SMSs from a range of people (including this person) requesting the price of the item (without stating which item they were interested in) ASAP via email.

Some of the SMSs also state that the person will make payment via Paypal.

Generally the person also stated that they are unable to view the item as they are overseas on business etc.

\"Just viewed your ad. It is still available? What\'s the final asking price? Kindly reply me direct to my email: clemjames48@yahoo.com.\"

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.
