I got a SMS from 15164063431 (gavintyler00@gmail.com) regarding my Cars.com ads saying will offer me a price....
I knew it was a scam so I responded it right back with the following SMS text.
------- Responded back to the scam via SMS 15164063431
Thanks for the great offer, it is far beyond my bottom line price. Lets close this deal ASAP. Please send me the 75% of the payment first immediately and I will email you the car right back. Yes, "email the car" you are reading it correctly. This is the latest technology from our planet Mars. Once you get the car, please send the remaining 25% payment and I will email u the title. Lets do it now. But wait.....what is PayPal? is it a pal that you paid to get it? Like escort service or prostitute? No,no, no, prostitute is not good for ur health, although she will make u feel good. So u are going to email me hooker as payment...? What does she look like? If it's like Taylor Swift....ok I will take it but if like the fatty Britney Spears...no no. Lets do it now!!!!

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.
