Overpayment Scam
1 |  +1 Craigslist Furniture Email from Scammer:
Hello,
I hope you are fine and alright. I have been busy myself but doing great. There is something i think i must bring to your notice.
After a reconciliation of my account , i discovered that somehow my assistant must have over paid you. The payment that was meant for another transaction was added to your money, however i want to believe i wont have a problem with you.
Please once you receive your payment, i will like you to deduct your money and send the remaining via western union,to me so i can liaise with the shippers my self, so as to ensure that pick up is done asap. I will ask them to contact you as soon as possible .Let me know as soon as you get your payment.
I will like you to acknowledge receipt of this email by emailing me back.
Warm regards. |

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.
