I received a text message asking if my car that I am selling on a local classified ads website was still for sale. I said yes and he asked if I could send him the details, asking price and conditions to paulwining@gmail.com. I thought it was weird because everything (including pictures) is already on the classified ad webpage so i copied and pasted everything written on there and sent it to him via e-mail. This was his response:

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.
