He sent a fraudulent payment via paypal (not really from paypal at all) saying to make $300 AUD transfer payment through Western Union for auto shipping and then funds would be released into my paypal account. I had a feeling this was a scam from the outset but as I was desperately trying to sell a wedding dress for my friend who needed the money I was hoping it was legit. Luckily I contact paypal by phone and they confirmed the paypal emails I had received were not from them.

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.
