I received an sms from this number asking about me gumtree ad, wanting my price but not mentioning the item (a motorbike). There was also a message from this number from Eva evahattful@outlook.com. I have had these sorts of messages before so I don\'t reply but I hadn\'t thought to report. This is the first time I realised I had messages from two different people from the same number..
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
I had on gumtree a Toyota Motorhome for sale -- Eva contacted me and stated that the price was reasonable and she required me to send it to her by road transport -- for a fee of $950 plus costs of $60 to $80 -- So "she" deposited the monies plus costs into a pay-pal account -- "she " emailed me to say payment was in my personal account -- I imediately went to my bank and no monies were forth comming -- So the next email was the transport company " in China" so I emailed back to ask pay-pal how to get my motor home to china for transport -- they informed me by many emails to "just pay the money ($950) into a wesrern union a/c in china ( to - NING ZHU 12gongti bei lu sanlintu--Beijing state Beijing zip 100024 CHINA ) So don't get caught paying any monies to this person?? As when you check phone records 'no one exists by this name "

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.
