Mathais connore emailed about wanting to buy some tools that I was selling on gumtree, he then sent me a link to paypal and told be he had transferred 2500, 1200 for the tools and extra for the shipping costs, he then told me I would have to go to western union and transfer the extra money to his pickup agent headcourter and the rest would be embersed, he sent fake paypal emails comfirming the money was ready to be transferred into my bank account as soon as I sent the extra money. Luckily I realised this was a scam and told him to go shove the extra money up his ass.

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.
