Scammer sent a very detailed email informing me that he was interested in my car for sale on Gumtree.
He wanted all information as he would not be available to view the car himself.
Once I gave the response he quickly replied with a further email saying he definitely wanted the vehicle and he would pay via Paypal and to send him my bank details.
I responded with, of course, please send me your full details, name, address, driving licence number etc etc.
Of course - no response.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
The guy offered to buy the car I advertised on gintree, sending me emails asking for banking details and car information. He said that he would organise courier to pick up my car and transfer fund via cheque payment, when I asked for contacts he said the agent headquarter is in Nigeria and he’s an Operating Officer of an oil Rig offshore and he’s so busy that he couldn’y pay them.

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.
