Then this one ensued once I said I only take cash for payments;
I am on a cruise ship and i will not be able to inspect the room
till my arrival. I am willing to take the room as is. Everything is fine
with me and i am willing to abide with your decision. Kindly get back to
me with your Bank details so that i can transfer the deposit asap. Cheers.
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.
