Autotrader (autotrader.com) |  +1 Autotraderclassics WOW!!! I knew it was too good to be true!!! Got an email from Stacey Harris shortly after listing a car on autotrader classics. Email was the same as others on here. Wanted to buy it for her dad as a birthday present - would pay full price - was an oceanographer and didn\'t have a phone. Allegedly paypaled me the full asking price - But... in order to get my money, I had to moneygram the \"mover\" Ken Linville in Redmond, OR $1830 plus $170 for the moneygram fee = $2,000 Thank goodness for this sight!!!! |

BEWARE of a Stacey Harris aka Kenneth Linville with an address of 461 W. Antler Ave, Redmond, OR. BOGUS address - I drove by and no such address exists! I also had a classic car advertised at Auto Trader Classics. These people pretend to be interested and will pay FULL PRICE (alert). She poses as an oceanographer with no access to a phone - birthday present for father. She arranges for Kenneth Linville to transport the vehicle for her. She uses a bogus PayPal account and sends the full amount of the car plus $2,000 for shipping. The catch again is: you must pay with your own money in advance $2,000 before PayPal will release the funds to you. Don't fall for this TRAP! You won't get your money back because her funds never appear in your real PayPal account! I reported this to the real PayPal and to Auto Trader Classics.
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.
