  Information
Name:
Joseph Camdeen

Emailed with interest in a car I was selling. Insisted to pay with PayPal. Upon providing PayPal email for him to pay, he sent the following email:
"I was just about to pay when i had this problem with the pick up, my pick up agent says i will need to pay for the pick up before they can schedule a pick up time, they charged me $950 for pick up and delivery, and payments for pick up made through them is made to their corporate international headquarters which is in the CHINA and the payments is made through western union money transfer, i will add the $950 to the money i will send through Paypal as soon as i have made the payments, i will email you and let you know and please i will need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent Head Quarters in the CHINA through western union money transfer, this can be done from any post office ,there is always western union money transfer section in most post offices (you can do it online as well at www.westernunion.com)..., i would have done it myself but as i am at sea and didn't bring my credit card aboard, i am a little incapacitated."

Very dodgy. Ignored.

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.
