Had an email and it looks like I have a buyer They are even paying more than the asking price

Hi,
am so sorry for the late response to your email
i can read and understand the condition of this item and i want to pay you
for this item with my credit card using PayPal so that my mover could be
available for the pickup cos i won't be available for the inspecting and
picking up of this car due to my busy schedule at work as a business
administrator,
so you can send me your PayPal email account so that i can send the payment
at once.. i will be responsible for the pick up
Note:i will offer you 6700 for the item.and i'll also include the mover
pickup fee

so kindly Get back to me with your PayPal email account if my offer is
accepted..

Thanks

Lets see how much effort they put into the fake paypal email first, it could be worth stringing out for a little while.

hello my friend

I fear, like the others that some time in the near future there may be a pigeon in your bank account.

Please send a picture of the mover with a loaf of bread on his head so I will recognise him when he calls

Somehow I am thankful I never get buyers like that.

They are offering MORE than the asking price, why on earth would you not want "buyers" like that



Heres the latest

hello,

Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that I'm okay with the condition of the item, I'm ready to sealed the deal with you ,I will be paying you £6600 for the car and I will be responsible for all the shipping expenses, I want to buy it for my dad in united state of america as a birthday gift ,my method of payment is through PayPal cos its very secure,fast and reliable, kindly get back to me with your PayPal account email or send me an invoice through PayPal if you are a registered user of PayPal,i will advice you that PayPal is the best way transfer and receive money online and if you are not PayPal user,you can get an account with them at www.paypal.com but you don't have to do this if you already have an account,Just get back to me with your PayPal account email or invoice from PayPal so i can proceed with the payment as soon as possible. About the shipping my father has a agent he has been working with for the past 20 years and this agent knows the best way to get items from one country to the other so this is why my father wants his agent to arrange the pick up after payment has been sorted so i think this will be very easier for you, I would have love to come to see this in person but due to the nature of my work that would not be possible for me so i will appreciate any available picture for this that you can send to me so i can have a good look but anyways understanding and honesty matters. my mover are coming from Italy to schedule an appropriate and convenient time for the pick-up at your location after the payment has been sort but i will need you to send me your address and zip code so they can calculate there charges, I'm a Marine Officer, I'm on the ship now so i dont have time coming to check this out .i hope you can understand me due to the nature of my work.Please do get back to me with your paypal email account or send me an invoice so i can make out payment.

Regards

Cant you just tell them that you dont accept paypal and just to leave the money in a brown envelope under the plant pot. Why do they even bother?

Hysteria1983

DARB

I know this will sound ridiculous but how can they scam you?

Are they actually expecting you to ship the car before you receive payment or is there some way they can access your Paypal account and remove funds(I never use paypal by the way so excuse my ignorance)

The pray on the masses and aim for the stupid.

Yes, some people in financial difficulty will be very stupid and do exactly what the email asks of them.

DARB

So thats how they are targeting me

speedking

Surely not possible or they could get a mate to open an account. Send him £6500 and then 'rob' it back Maybe only viable if you give details of an existing account with cash in?

They will add funds from a hacked paypal account, then after you have given someone your car paypal will demand the money back. Thats usually how it works.

CREWJ

Crap, never knew they did that!
