had an item for sale on GUNTREE for £500. Offered to pay over the asking price to include carriage for her courier at a total of £880. Not able to speak to us on the phone as she had severe deafness!! Told us she would deposit money straight into our account and for us to liase with the courier on cost, times and dates for pick up, via WESTERN UNION Luckily we knew that all she needed to make a payment to us was our email account via paypal. Emails then stopped. Also mentioned that the item was to be couriered 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.
