Same old scam from "David G. ALbert. Engineer. Away at work. Will paypal the money. Blah. Blah. Blah.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!

Just received an e-mail from Mr. Albert offering to buy a vehicle posted on kijiji (Halifax) wanted to make payment via paypal. I am assuming that if I accepted I would receive an email from paypal telling me that the money had been transferred to my account (but not really from paypal)

I received an email as well recently in regards to purchasing a one of my trucks and this guy is a scam artist for sure. Beware! If you ever receive any email from a David G. Albert, petroleum engineer, works off shore and wants to pay with PayPal...don't proceed!!!

I also received the following email from David G. Albert:
