Email recieved about wedding dress for sale on Gumtree. Asking that I cancel all appointments etc regarding the dress and that they want it asap. Couldn't organise courier so "transferred" an extra 350 to cover it if I'd sort it myself. Apparently PayPal will not release the payment until I have sent them the courier and shipping info... Which I had to pay for via Western Union. Rang PayPal to confirm if there was a pending payment on my account as no email or anything. Told, as expected, no money had been transferred. Emailed back to say the money isn't in my account and PayPal have no trace of a transaction. No response as yet.

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.
