  Information
Name:
david
Email Address:
davidedmond03@hotmail.com
I am trying to sell my bike and just got an email saying this a few seconds ago, i am familiar with scams and instantly knew this was a scam
he texted me from a number i didn\'t know but it came up as \"DavEd\" saying \"I would like to know the present condition and firm price for your listing. easier to contact me on: davidedmond03@hotmai.com\"
and he then emailed me when i told him the condition of the bike, saying
\"Hi thanks for the mail, am ok with the price and the condition, am buying it for my holiday, because i\'ll be coming soon from our rig as am a marine biologist working offshore, i won\'t be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work, i would have love to call in person but we have limited access to calls due to bad weather condition. i will be paying you through PayPal, pls get back to me with your PayPal details so i can proceed with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it to my place prior my arrival. Await your reply.\"

this was similar wording as the last person who tried to scam me when i sold my previous bike - don\'t fall for it!

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.
