Emailed regarding some furniture I had listed on Gumtree.
Said he couldn't view but was happy with the price was buying it for his 'cousin' and would pay via PayPal and arrange collection.
Then things got a little weird started asking me to send same day however ignored my requests for an address and no paypal email arrived confirming payment.
I pretended to go along with it.
I said I could arrange shipping.
Then I got the true 'Scam Email' saying he had paid me for the furniture plus a commisssion fee and he now needed me to deposit $400 to a Western Union acct for the 'shipping company'.
The account details were Chinese as follows...
First Name: Changrong
Last Name: Xin
Address:No 20 Changjiang West Road
City: Anhui
State: China
Zip Code:238200
Country: China
I let him know I would not be sending any money and all went quiet!!

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.
