An SMS regarding my Gumtree ad. 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Kenny
Email Address:
kennyman001@gmail.com
Telephone:
+16783047410
After posting an ad on Gumtree I received (almost immediately) this SMS: Hi, am interested in your vehicle.Pls confirm the price/availabity to my email address: kennyman001@gmail.com. pls no sms bcos I won\'t b able to read it.

After emailing Kenny he asked for my PayPal details. I then did a scam search and found that Kenny was a well known scammer and would go on to ask for a money transfer for shipping. I dodged this scammer and hope everyone else manages to as well.

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.
