Scam Email
Email left me to be a little careful and I ended the conversation by letting the scammer know I would not want to proceed as I believed he was a scammer. I then checked on this site and viola here it is.

Exactly as described. Offered to buy my car and then said he needed to send $950 to shipping agent in China via Western Union. I said OK but only after all the funds appeared in my account. Not surprisingly, his emails stopped!

Scam Email
Original contact made via SMS. Sender given as: WebSMS, sent 22 Aug 2015 7:18pm. Reply was not possible - I thought this was because it was sent by carsales.com.au but now think that he used a 3rd part SMS service to avoid using official channels.

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.

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.
