I have a boat for sale on Craigslist. I got an enquiry this morning asking if it was still for sale? I replied that it was and then I got this email offering to buy it sight unseen and to pay by Paypal and to send an agent to pick it up. This is the email address and his reply;

I am ready to buy it now but i am not in town at the moment as i am a marine engineer manager and due to the nature of my work, It hard to make a phone calls and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it. I really want it to be a surprise for my dad so i wont let him know anything 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 price so i can make the payment asap for it and please if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go towww.paypal.com 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 it after i have made the payment...
Thanks.
I have replied and said "cash only" and sent a link to the Craigslist page on Scams. I see he has quite a scams record.
