Like others, responded my ads on Gumtree. Email content word to word saying sending agent pick up the car. Then followed with wanting my paypal account details. I agreed to provide bank account details for him to send money, then he emailed me that he paid extra so I need to send money to a third party in UK. Also faked paypal email saying: have received his payment and will release the full fund once I paid money to that third party. Very strange, be careful everyone.

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.
