Went to sell my car on kijiji. He replied to the ad telling me that he liked the price and could I take more photo\'s and he would send me money via paypal. I did all this for him.. being very happy that I feel I just sold my car. He than emailed me with this; Before i make the payment,there is something i need you to be aware of,i just received an email from the shipping company that will be in charge of the pick up.They are saying

i need to pay them their fees which is $1200 before they proceed with coming for it and

the only form of payment that they accept is WU Money Transfer.Where i am,the nearest

union office is 8hrs where i am overseas,I dont know if it will be ok,if i include this agent\'s fees in the payment i will be sending you now,so on receipt of the total funds,you will remove the additional funds of $1200 and help me send it at your local WU office.Let me know if this is ok and i will proceed with the payment.


I can not believe there is a guy out there doing this. I hope that he has not taken too many people.

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.
