Was selling a used car on Kijiji. Got a reply via text message ~12hrs after posting, asking me to email at the address above and saying they would offer $700 above my $3500 asking price. Since that\'s 20% (!!!) it seemed fishy, did some googling and the exact email text I\'ve entered here pops up in dozens of other results. Went by the name of Jeff Doyle - I also got suspicious due to unfamiliar (Florida) area code - I\'m in Alberta, Canada. The profile picture for that gmail account also looked suspiciously like a stock photograph of a smiling African-American man. Don\'t fall for this!

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.
