Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Gumtree - selling a Treadmill. Steven contacted me via e-mail, offering more than the asking price! And to provide paypal details, he would arrange for courier. Never provided any personal information, never asked anything about the item I was selling. Was just really keen to obtain my paypal details.

Offered to pay full price + PayPal charge for a boat I have for sale, even though the cost of transport from Australia to Malaysia could potentially exceed the value of the boat. Looks like a Chargeback fraud to me!

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.
