He offered to buy a used car I listed on Craig\'s List at asking price and without inspection. Said he was an oceanographer about to leave for new job and could only communicate by email - no phone reception from ship. Wanted to pay via Paypal. Said a mover would handle the title transfer. It all seemed to good to be true but i corresponded with him a couple times to at least confirm an agreement on terms. But when it came time to send a Paypal invoice, I searched his name and email address and found this scam alert website (thank you!).

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.
