Sofa for sale 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Richard porter
Email Address:
richardporterxx1@gmail.com
Scam Website:
I advertised a sofa on gumtree giving my mobile number for contact. I received a text asking if the ITEM was still for sale and to reply by email to richardporterxx1@gmail.com. I did and he said he wanted to buy the sofa for someone special and if I gave him my paypal Id and address he would arrange courier after I had received the money. I asked him if it would help if I could deliver the sofa and that was the last I heard of him. He was very apologetic and hoped that I was a god fearing person and would be ok with his set up. His email started with hello how was your day and thanks to god.

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.
