He expressed an interest in buying my piano > asked for my PayPal emails so he could \"transfer\" funds sent an email to say he\'d paid the amount PLUS an extra $950 for courier feeds + $100 for Western Union services. He asked for me to pay the courier fee on his behalf because he was \'at sea / on a ship and forgot his credit card so couldn\'t pay online and therefore couldn\'t schedule in a pick up time). I also received a so called \'confirmation email\' from \'PayPal/scammer\' with a fake statement saying that funds were transferred but wouldn\'t be released into my PayPal account until I had provided a Western Union Money Transfer number. Called PayPay to verify and they confirmed with 110% it was a scammer.

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.
