Scam Website:
I was contacted by this person from Chemistry.com. He requested that I contact him @ his private e-mail, said he was closing his acct on Chemistry.com. Represented himself as a 62 yo widowed, retired CardioThoracic surgeon, Swedish-American who now designs standards hospitals & medical centers. He vigorously pursued relationship for 6wks -- we never met, but spoke on phone & texted, as well as email communication, with pictures. He wrote long, fairly well written e-mails, comparable to his "profession". Stated that he was traveling to South Africa for about 2wks for "business". After 1wk in "South Africa", he sent me an e-mail, stating that he had been "robbed @ gunpoint" & "his driver had been shot, but survived". Stated all belongings in briefcase were stolen, including wallet & passport, in addition to other "personal items". Shortly thereafter, within 12-18 hrs, he called me & asked me to "help him out" until he receives his money from his "Swedish bank"-- he asked me to wire $5000 to him, which I declined. I offered $300 --$500. Eventually, he asked me to money gram $500 to Linda Soldaat, Capetown South Africa. I pressed him for an address: 58 PARK ROYAL ON PARKLANDS MAIN, TABLEVIEW 7441, CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA. I then googled the address & eventually found an entry on this site (SCAMDEX) with 84 Park Royal, instead of 58 Park Royal & a different name, but otherwise, similar story including Chemistry.com. The person obviously sent money & was duped. Luckily, I did some research, found this site & I DID NOT SEND THE MONEY. Whoever wrote the 50+ e-mails to me, over 6wks, was very convincing in conveying fake emotions & I was lured in. There were many phone calls "I love you" text messages as well -- some from a South African international phone that he supposedly used upon his arrival to Capetown -- that # was 011 27 71 226 3800. THANK YOU TO WHOEVER POSTED THE FIRST WARNING IN 3-2014!!!!

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.
