I advertised a phone for sale on Gumtree, soon afterwards got a text message from the number quoted asking me to email the devices condition at the email address quoted. Once that was done I then got another email back saying that he/she...

- was hearing impaired
- was unable to come to my place to view (away on business)
- wanted me to post the phone to his son in Norwich for his imminent birthday
- would paypal the money to me (offering nearly double the asking price)

I declined the offer unless it was a cash payment as this smelled very fishy to me.

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.
