Contacted after advertising motor car for sale 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Patrick Gan
Email Address:
patrick22gan@gmail.com
I advertised my car for sale on carsales.com
Was texted by \'Patrick\' who requested email contact as he was in a remote location. After email contact he stated he was buying the vehicle as a surprise for his son who was at Charles Sturt University in the Northern Territory. After requesting more information about the vehicle he stated he would buy it and pay for freight charges. I then received an email from PayPal (fake) stating that the money including the freight charges are waiting and I had to firstly pay the freight charges to a freight company in China.
He obviously has produced a fake paypal site. The details of the \'President\'on the paypal site are incorrect.

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.
