Contacted me by text message to inquire about purchasing a car that I had posted on autotrader. Then responded to an email that I had sent him for more information, in the response he identified himself as an archeologist and asked for PayPal info so that he could pay for the $42k car, site unseen.

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.
