Tried to scam me via my boat advert. After a first inquiry, which I answered, he sent the message below. With the help of this page I could tell it was a scam.
Message:
"Great. Am glad to read from you, will appreciate more pictures... I am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now. I am buying this for my son as a surprise promise Gift so am willing to offer you the amount you required. I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online (i don't have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my PayPal account, and this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay, all i will need is your PayPal email address to make the payments, and if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your PayPal email so l can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted.
L will be waiting for your reply asap
Regards Brine"
