  Information

Yoshimura Aiko
Email Address:
yoshwis.le2@gmail.com
I posted an ad online to sell a chair. Received a mobile request if item was still available. I responded yes it was for cash and carry only. Received the following email which is obvious scam...

Hello,

Thanks for the response.I am okay with the condition and price of the item and am willing to add extra $20 so you could keep it in my favor. I\'ll be paying with a Check via next day delivery.

I\'ll be responsible for the pick-up and the movers/pick up money will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable movers to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after check has been cashed,as i have other properties to be moved alongside with yours.

I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be possible. kindly get back to me with your full name and
address including your cell and land number so i can make out payment to you.
I believe this is based on trust.

Thanks

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.
