Car Scam

[MickyG]

I'm selling my XC Coupe now, and luckily I had a top bloke coming around to inspect my car who told me if u get any offers to sell your car through paypal don't do it. Supposedly they put the funds through Paypal and it looks there but it actually isn't then u get a phonecall to pay the agent to pick up the car as he can't arrange it as he is as sea, u hand over $800 a truck comes around picks up ur car then paypal figures out that that money u have in your paypal account is not legit and takes it off u before u can witdrawal it. Anyways heres the e-mail get one like this don't respond.

Thanks for the mail and am willing to offer you $21,500 for the Car ..I will like to buy it now,i am buying it for my dad and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and i really want it to be a surprise for my dad so i won't let him know about it until it gets delivered to him,i am sure he will be more than happy with it .I insisted on PayPal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking,but i can pay from my PayPal account,as i have my bank a/c attached to it,i will need you to give me your PayPal email address and the total amount am paying you. Pls if you don't have PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com.au and get it set up , after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through.I have a pick up agent that will come and pick this up after i have made the payments...

I would have loved to talk to you on phone but i am a marine engineer I work mainly on sea, our phone is down on the sea right now due to bad weather, we can only communicate with our base for now.

Thanks !!
