Shortly after I advertised my vehicle on Gumtree site I get an sms message from \'paul\'requesting to contact him via email.Here is the text : MATE,IS YOUR CAR ADVERT STILL AVAILABLE? PLS GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR FIRM PRICE ON PAULLINCOLN1970@GMAIL.COM AS MY PHONE LINE IS PRESENTLY SCRAMBLED.CHEERS.

No details shown on my mobile.This triggered a suspicious person to me, however I sent him an email confirming what I had already stated in the ad.This person claims to be offshore on some New Zealand Oil and Gas project.....Taranaki.

Sounds like to me some ar** ho** NIGERIAN

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.
