I was trying to sell and iphone 5 and she sent my an email if the phone is still available. She tell me that she will give me an extra $50 dollar to hold the item and later ask my for the final price. After both of us agree send me a check that look very suspicious, but I deposit it anyway. She send me a total of $1,730 and told me to keep $200 for myself and sent the rest to the 3rd party mover via Moneygram 10 minutes. I sent her the money and one of my friend told me it could be scam so I canceled the transaction.

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.
