Scam Website:
Advertised on Gumtree Toyota Hilux Invicible, payment through Ebay Payment Protection (which is a scam website linked to the invoice number he sends you) this claims Payments are protected up to £20,000 by Ebay. IT ISN\'T!!!
Seeems he uses the Same story of vehicle location in Scotland. He is on the Rowan Gorilla oil platform. Will ship the vehicle for £100 and we would have 3 days to inspect it - then WE would release the payment to him. Payment from our bank went to D ARBAUGH at Barclays Bank Bank Account number 80613894 sort code 20-32-00. We were asking vehicle registration confirmation to arrange insurance. Michael Preston never answered of course. Our bank cannot retrieve the £5,200, and are notifing Barclays Bank. We have referred this to the Bank Fraud dept, Police, Consumer direct and Trading Standards, but have no hope of getting money back.

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.
