I advertised my vehicle for sale and received a sms from Ramond asking me to deal with him via ramondjak@gmail.com . After emailing I was advised he was working for New Zealand oil & gas and was unable to negotiate other than email. He requested my personal banking details for cash deposit. He has fallen off the radar now !!

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.
