Received email from 'Laura Brown' saying she was interested in my bike and wanted it to be sold to her without being seen first due to her working offshore. She said she'd handle the paperwork and the couriers as she needed it urgently. However when I asked for BACS payment she kept insisting on PayPal only even sending me links to reset my account.

I knew something wasn't right so I just ignored it and reported to PayPal directly. Unfortunately I couldn't get anymore information from this person to shut it down fully.

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.
