Donedeal.ie Ad Response from brouderdeclan1@yahoo.com, 82646 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Declan Brouder
Email Address:
brouderdeclan1@yahoo.com
Telephone:
82646
I put an item for sale on Donedeal.ie, One of Irelands most popular buy/sell sites.

The next day, I receive a text message on my phone. I did put up my contact phone number on the ad for responses, this is normal and have never had any issues before.
The text message said is your item still available and what is your best price. You can contact me at brouderdeclan1@yahoo.com.

Now since the text came from 82646, and not a normal Irish phone number like the following
(PREFIX: 083,085,086,087,089)followed by 7 digits (XXXXXXX)I knew it was a scam so I googled it and this was the first result, confirming others have experienced this scam.

I did not pursue the email address supplied as others here have done, so I have not experienced further correspondences with this scam.

ADVISE: Ignore this number and email address. Do not pursue thinking it may be genuine.
Post a message to the site admin where you have your item for sale and get the person removed, blocked it possible.

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.
