Car sale scam 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Joel
Email Address:
crldwrds1@gmail.com [mailto:crldwrds1@gmail.com]
I had a car for sale, Joel emailed me asking for my best price, and told me he would take the vehicle and to take it off the website and that he was arranging for the vehicle to be shipped to NT. He then said that he had transferred the money to BPAY for me and he said he needed me to help him with paying the shipping for the vehicle through a Chinese company that would only accept payment through western union which can be done at a post office; he couldn\'t get to a post office so wanted me to pay the $1800 to the company and when I provided the reciepts to BPAY they would pay me my asking price.
As I had a similar \"scam\" the week before, I told him he was being ripped off and the other company was only charging $1200 shipping. I told him no, and didn\'t hear from him again.

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.
