Contacted me regarding a car I was selling online, made an offer above asking price. Went into detail about using PayPal, then asked for MoneyPak to \"pay transport agent.\" Email correspondence went on for 3 days. Thank goodness for this website! Something didn\'t sound right all along. He claimed to be an oceanographer on assignment in New Zealand buying a car for his father in Idaho.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Gray responded to my internet advertisement. Willing to pay the amount listed. Insisted on PayPal to handle sale. He's out to sea. Claims vehicle is for his father in Idaho. also, willing to pay shipment and Insurance fees? Sends emails saying that he deposited funds into my PayPal account. They never show. I received an authentic looking PayPal message stating, Hold on funds in my account until shipping vendor is paid via MoneyPak. Gray sends email alleging not know was going on, the money should be there. He wants to purchase asap. PayPal claims the above email address is good but no money in account. He takes a confrontational position after you call him on it.

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.
