someone must be picking up this money so i will need to contact western union and find out who\'s received it on the other end and then somehow report that to the british police. i emailed paypal direct on their website and said there was never any report in their system of me ever going to receive money so then it became obvious i wasn\'t actually emailing paypal. this was also the first time i had ever used it, think i should stick to straight out cash in hand situations..

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.
