Hi,

Thanks for mailing back, I dont have the chance to come and look at
the item because of my job, i am a chef at sea and i am buying this
for future purposes and use when i finally settle down , i am at sea
right now but i wouldnt mind seeing a few more pictures of it, and I am ok
with your price.Right now the only way i can pay for it pay is through
paypal as i dont have access to my bank account online and there's no
way i can issue out a check or something, but i have my bank account
attached to my paypal account,and this is why i would use paypal to
pay you, all i will need is your paypal email address to make the
payments,and if you dont have a paypal account,its pretty easy to set
up at www.paypal.com and also attach it your bank account,its also the
same as me paying you directly. i hope you consider this cos i really
dont want to miss this deal.I have a pick up agent who will come for
the pick up after payments have been made.Thanks for
understanding.Have a nice day.You can call me on here 206-350-2898

Thanks.

To which I replied I would take some more pictures as soon as I had a chance and then described the cosmetic defects of my car.

I got this beauty in return:

Thanks for the prompt mail...Am buying this for myself,cos i just retired from service due to the nature of my problem (95% deaf) that just started few weeks ago,but you can call my wife on this following number (206-350-2898) for a better conversation.. Presently i just got my pension paid but i want you to please deduct some amount from your advert price...This transaction should be done via PayPal so the PayPal charges will be on me,If my offer is accepted send me your PayPal email and your name including your phone# so i can pay you right away i will arrange for the hauled agent which will be coming for the pickup at your residence location,so no shipping Once the payment is done. So my questions are the
following.....


Are you the first owner of it?
Why are you selling it?
Are the tittle still available and when does it expires?
Where do you live?
When have you been using it?
And does it has any dent on it or anything?
I will want you to please try to tell me the very actual fault you think it has?
Does it consume too much of fuel?
How many cylinder does it have?
How much will you re duct from your advert price?
Do you have a PayPal email address?
Can i have some close up pics?

Hope to read from you soon

To which I replied "Umm, yeah, I'm not into scams.   The car is for sale to legit buyers, not scammers."  and never heard from Scoffy again.  I searched for the phone number just to see and it brought me here.

Got the same exact e-mail !!!!!!!  Thanks for posting.

Same e-mail I received.  Seriously sad that people will fall for this crap...
