Scammer responded to an advertisment for my car that I am selling.
He wrote a long winded story regarding how he wanted to buy the car for his son who lived in the NT. He came across very keen and interested in purchasing the car from me. Mentioned pay pal or direct bank transfer for payment. My girlfriend suggested that it sounded like it could be a scam so I googled his name and found this website .... thank goodness!
What a douche bag! |

I advertised my car on Gumtree.com.au. This scammer contacted my by SMS to email him. On searching the net I found many references to both his number & email. Why have they not been shut down?

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.
