I had advertised a number of items on Gumtree. I received an email asking if items were still available. I replied asking which items. I was asked to email not text as he was away at sea. He stated he wanted furniture for his holiday house, and would buy it unseen. He said he would deposit money into my account and I just needed to give him account details. When money was cleared he would then have a courier come and pick the furniture up. I did not respond as it seems like a far fetched story. On searching it seems others have been conned by the same scammer.

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.
