I got a text from 82646 asking if the goods were still available. I then got an email from brouder.1declan@yahoo.com asking me to arrange a money transfer through PayPal. I asked where he lived and he did not answer this question but said I could add €20 for postage onto the price I was looking for for my item. I thought it was a bit suspicious so I googled the text number which led me to this page. Thanks for highlighting this scam.
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.
