CAR FOR SALE text message and email from DAVID GRAY JR.

DAVID GRAY JR. IS A SCAMMER!

He text messaged me asking me to email him at this address: David Gray , and this was suspicious because my phone number and name are NOT available anywhere in my used car ad. Even my license plate is blanked out in the pics. (that means he\'s hacked into craigslist\'s system to mine data) I called the text message number and it is from PINGER.COM, a free text messaging site. Here is his email reply when I said the car was still available:


Thanks for your swift response. Can you please confirm the amount you\'ll like to sell it so that we can proceed with the transaction?

His grammar is bad, especially for an \"Oceanographer\", and I called the company claimed in his linked-in profile (a different one from others who have reported this person) and they never heard of him.

His M.O. is to offer paypal payment and then ??? Empty your account? I doubt that he\'s in the US.

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.
