Question from

Activity with
curtis2525700 (last 90 days):
- I am currently bidding on
0 of their items.

This is the last time I send the money in advance to people like you. It's been 4 weeks and no answer. You stole my daughter's birthday money you thief. This won't end like this I will contact eBay and Paypal and you'll go to jail.

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.
