We are trying to sell my car on Craigslist and this guy emailed promptly asking if it was still available. We emailed back, "yes" then we got a super long email explaining how he was happy with the price and wanted it. I am not as stupid as some.
Hello,
Thanks for the mail, I'm interested in buying this item for my father
and I'm okay with the price, I'm a Subsea Engineer and currently
offshore I want this as a surprise gift for my father so I won't let
him to be aware until delivery. I feel more comfortable to handle the
payment through PayPal due to their various security measures and
ensuring safety and secured transaction between both buyers and seller
and kindly reply me with your paypal email address for me to processed
with the payment, incase you do not have an account with paypal you
can easily set-up an account with them today as it's secured and
reliable in terms of transaction arrangement. Visit their website on
www.paypal.com I will be responsible for the paypal charges. My movers
would come around for the pick up as soon as possible, after the
payment has been sent to you and your full address and phone number
will be needed for the freight arrangement I would love to speak with
you through the phone but due to the nature of my work as a Subsea
Engineer i work mainly at the Sea of Okhotsk and our phone is down on
the rig right now due to bad weather, We can still communicate through
the email exchange for now.
I will be looking forward to read from you in real soon with the
paypal email address and your full address including phone number for
the freight arrangement.
Well, I replied...
Before I do that and you find some way to scam me I have two issues. Your emails have been different both times you have emailed me. Secondly, you haven't asked for pictures or carfax or anything. Me personally I would want to see pictures before I bought a car all the way from Russia
Needless to say after I sent that he stopped replying.
