He tried to buy my bike, but said he couldn't organise the courier to pick it up because he was working on a remote site in Darwin. He wanted to transfer $ for the courier to me, then wanted me to send the $ via Western Union to China to pay for the courier. I declined! E-mails below.

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.
