I had a vauxhall royale for sale on gumtree belfast and next morning i received a text message form a man calling himself stephen rehman saying he is interested in my car and asking me to reply to his email i did this and he requested more pics of car and stated that if he was happy he would pay the money into my paypal account all 4000 of it. He stated that he worked on an oil rig as an engineer and was soon getting of on holiday. I sent more pics and he was very happy and asked for my paypal details to make the payment saying also he would arrange for a courier to collect the car. I sent him the details but received a reply that he tried severval times to make the payment but was unsuccessful so could i send him my bank account details. Well i thought to myself straight away does this nut job think we boys from belfast came up the canal in a bubble my wife doesn\'t even know my bank account details so there was no way i was going to send them to some bastard probably from south africa just for him to scam me. So folks if it sounds to good to be true it usually is be aware and stick to my rule give nobody your bank account details not even your wife lol

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.
