Sent from:Steve Price Is your Car still for sale? what is the lowest price and condition of it, get back to me through my email address (lisapatrick90@gmail.com)
So I emailed more info and received this back

Similar to previous... said she worked on an oil rig in Darwin and would buy my product. At the last minute said there was a problem with the courier and needed me to deposit $500 into a Western Union account.
Scam Email
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.
