Gumtree |  +1 Caravan for sale Swift conqueror 645 Caravan for sale seemed cheap so we enquired about it. The answer came back the it was being sold by a recently divorced female who had moved back to Ireland with her parents and took the swift conqueror 645 with her as she\'d intended keeping it but it reminded her too much of her husband as he had bought it for her as a birthday present. She wanted our address to help her find out what it would cost to ship it over to our country so we could look at it & decide whether we\'d like to buy it. My husband became alarmed at this suggestion so didn\'t send our address but did send our town name. I then began looking through scam alerts on caravan sales and found very similar activies. He then emailed the person saying he\'d reported their scam. Today they\'ve emailed him again saying that they\'ve arranged delivery with a company who will be contacting us in 24 hours for our details. |

The person who advertise for a cheap caravan
Came along and advertised for a boat bayliner worth £19,000
Saying for quick sale I want £4,400
Then when I emailed the person asking for there details as I was interested in the boat
I got an email from
john@expo-mail.com
Pretending to be a woman that caught her husband cheating on her and the boat was birthday present from him
So she moved back to Ireland and want to sell the boat quickly cause she can't look at the boat.
So she pretend to have account with google.
And asking for money upfront and if you don't like the boat you will get a refund
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.
