Text message shortly after I advertised my car on Gumtree. \"I\'m interested in your vehicle for sale.What is the asking price & its present condition? Kindly get back to me at my email bryfooks56@live.com\" No callback number.

Th condition and price was clearly outlined in the advert. This is obviously a generic automatic response. I have had these before where they want you to deliver the car to their \"agent\" whioch is usually an unsuspecting transport company and they offer to pay through Pay Pal. Of course once the car is in transit they cancel the payment. Thanks for the free car!!

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.
