We noticed an ad that offered a fantastic price on a boat on Craigslist, Minneapolis. We contacted the seller through e-mail. He responded and said that he was leaving for Afghanistan and had to sell his boat by July 16th. As there were only two photos of the boat, we went to google and put in the boat\'s information, 2005 Crownline 226LS 300 HP Open Bow Boat, and noticed that the pictures were the same as a boat that had already been sold in Phoenix. As we searched further, we found your site with the same info that we had received with the date changed and the location changed. It appears that he is not a legitimite seller.

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.
