I listed a car for sale on Cars.com. I was originally contacted by a text message. I contacted him through the email address he provided. His first email offered full price (which was over priced) for the car I listed. The offer was, assumedly, based on a half dozen pictures and a 2 sentence description. He said he could only pay through PayPal and indicated that it was an international transaction. He said he would use a transfer agent to pickup the car once the payment was made. So far all the contacts reek of scam although, for the life of me, I don\'t see how the scam is supposed to work. Millions of people use PayPal everyday to sell things. Still, it can\'t be real.

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.
