Car Buyer Scam 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
David
Email Address:
davmark345@gmail.com
Telephone:
+61 428 465 117
I received this text message after listing my car on gumtree:

\"Sent from: David
I will like to know if your car is still available and to know the
firm price, please get back to me on davmark345@gmail.com\"

I searched the details and found all the other cases listed here so I just reported the number to the Australian Government scam site and didn\'t reply. I am in Victoria, Australia.

The car had been listed for a while but this happened straight after I edited it and bumped it to the top ($1.99) which may have drawn the attention of the person/bot running it, don\'t know it is a linked occurrence or just chance but worth mentioning.

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.
