This guy texts me about my car, makes a great offer, and wants to send me a check for half as a deposit. He says he made a deposit on a car with a dealer and that the dealer sold the car. The deposit check will come from the dealer in my name. This guy is running an overpayment scam. I changed the terms of the deal and he stopped all contact.

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.
