I\'d found out about Henry Edward on this site, when I looked him up after a suspicious conversation about my listing.

Henry:
Do you still have the listing for sale?Let me know the present
condition of it and why you are selling it.

Me:

Yes, I still have bed .

The bed is in excellent condition the photo\'s I posted in the ad were only taken three weeks ago. The only reason for selling is that I have moved into a granny flat and the bed is way to big for it.

I will be sad to see the bed go as it was made for me over 15 years ago and still looks the same. The only thing I have done in that time
is renewed the slats. You are more than welcome to view the bed.

Henry:
Ok just wanted to make sure nothing is been left out.
I will be purchasing this for $2700. Payment will be sent using PayPal
and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well. I will arrange with
someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i
am out of town at the moment.In the meantime, can you send me more
pictures (if available)?

Me:
No problems, I will take more photo\'s when I get home from work and forward them to you.

Henry:
Hello ,

Thanks for your response. So i will be paying directly into your
PayPal account without any delay, and i hope you have a paypal
account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it
to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a
paypal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead
with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping
company after you get the payment.

I will need your home address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by
the Shipping Company..

Me:
Email address for Paypal is -----------

Henry:
Thanks for the mail, as i want you to know that the funds will be
transferred for the item shortly via PayPal...so i will urge you to
get the item off the site as requested.....so kindly get back to me
asap...

Me:
Item will be removed once payment is received.

After this there was no reply, and then I found this site and sent him a link to a page all about him.

Me:
Hi,

I thought something seemed off with this offer.

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.
