Scam Website:
I Placed an advertisement to sell my caravan on the website using Quokka.
I got a EMail from a person in Darwin who wanted to buy my caravan. He told me that he would place the money for the caravan plus transport cost of $2500 into my Paypal account. A Day later I got an E:Mail from a fake PayPal site
(onlineequiries@gmail2cosultant.com) asking me to send a money order of $2500 via Western Union to somebody in England in order for the money for the caravan to be deposited into my Paypal account.

By the way I realised it was a scam as soon as he asked me to send the money order. I did not pay that amount and stopped all communications with that person

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.
