Wanted purchase the double bed I was trying to sell through gum tree. Contact was via email. He was unable to collect in person due to throat cancer and his house bound. They said they would pay me through PayPal and then someone will come and pick it up once the transaction went through. I received a email saying that PayPal has received a payment of a large sum of money and once I pay a certain fee for delivery to a name account and sort code I would receive this amount of money. The email so say was from PayPal but Micheal Elliot sent it to me. Check my PayPal account before doing something nothing was there. I emailed him that this was not the arrangement I will not send any money and to never contact me again. He did have my mobile number address and email address linked to my PayPal account but no money.

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.
