David text me and said was interested in buying my item on Gumtree. Then I emailed him and he wanted to buy it for his son. After a few emails he said that I would receive an email form PayPal informing me that the money is held on my account and I need to go to Money Gram to send it him. PayPal had no recollection if this email or the hold on my account!
It is a complete fraud.

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.
