Received a message on my mobile early yesterday morning asking me for a firm price on the car I was selling and could I email him. He replied saying he was on a rig on the Aquarius submersible and couldn\'t look at the car but wanted as much information about it as possible as he was purchasing it for his son as a gift for his graduation and wanted it to be a surprise for him. After sending him another email about the car he replied saying he was ready to purchase and if I didn\'t want to give him bank details I could send my email address for receiving the payment through PayPal. I started to think things weren\'t right so that\'s when I googled Aguarius submersible and found nearly identical reports from other people. I sent another email last night asking some questions etc and said that we would prefer a cheque for payment. He hasn\'t replied.
I am reporting this scam so other people become aware, be very careful.

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.
