Listed my car for sale. Get late nite text from number above which shows as Florida number and I\'m in Manitoba Canada. Says he will pay me $700 over my asking price!! I emailed back and pointed out that I am in CANADA. He replies with lengthy email about \"car is for my brother\" email copy is here:
Hi  Mate
                   just thinking you might have had some buyer\'s interested in buying your Vehicle and i think the best way to outbid them is by offering you additional 700 to your asking price on the ad,  Well am actually purchasing it for my Brother at home to have something to move around with when am not available but i won\'t be available to come for the inspection my self due to where i am presently . I do have a pick-up agent that will be contacting you on where and when the pick-up will take place after have completed the payment my self .

If you don\'t mind can you please tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition,how often you do the servicing and the history ? I will be waiting for your response then if we come to an agreement i will proceed with the payment immediately.

David

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.
