Scammer (John Kokai) tried to buy my car off of Auto Trader for full price sight unseen. Offered to make pull payment through PayPal. PayPal email arrived with full funds to be transferred as soon as a $1400.00 transport fee (which was added to the price of the car)was wired to a trucking company. So scammer tried to get a $1400.00 Western Union wired to trucking company which would come pick up car.

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.
