Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Posted on website to rent out common room. Claimed to be a doctor on cruise and doesn't provide information to rental conditions. Just 2 short emails and asked for PayPal link to pay 3 months rental, without viewing the room. She even emailed over a passport data page, Name, date of birth, expiry date etc. Same thing, can only email, doctor in cruise?! "

We advertise for lease rental on Gumtree. Without going thru the normal process, she was willing to pay me 6 months reng, but wanted to pay via PayPal only, and I should open a PayPal account. ....She claimed she is a doctor working in a cruise and need the receipt for custom etc etc....

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.
