Well, I was advertising of my room for rent, this girl emailed me the other day. She said she is a Chinese doctor 26yo working on a cruise boat.
She wants to pay 3 months rent and Bond in advance as well as her shipping fee for her belongings by Paypal as she couldnt make a payment to ship her stuff for a shipping company so she asked me to pay from Australia instead of her. Probably she was planning to refund all the money from Paypal after I sent the shipping money to China.

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.
