Responded to a car for sale ad by 12 digit cell phone number TXT giving the email address crldwrds1@gmail.com.
Asked for firm price, made an offer and then wanted bank details but would not provide a normal phone number. Eventually got the number 0889110673 which rang but was cut-off.
The ad was placed on CarsGuide.com.au.
Wanted me to pay a courier agent via Western Union (which he could have done himself).

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.
