Says he will buy an item then sends fake paypal confirmation to your email and asks you to pay 400 dollars for shipping to his Western Union account so the funds can be released to your paypal which would never happen. Luckily I was smart enough tell this fool he will NOT get the item until money is cleared into my account. DOUCHEBAG

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.
