I have my Wagon up for sale online.
Got a sms from a guy his name showed up on my phone as if he was in my address book, the msg contained his email address asking me to contact him, so I did but in my reply I gave a link to my web site for more info.
The first reply contains a link and instructions on how to get paypal account and a story about how his bank account is not online...yea right as if.
I then went to a few search engines and typed the email address user name and found nothing so no online history.
Well if I was buying a 1984 Wagon for $10 000 I would want to know a bit more about the modifications before depositing the money into a paypal account .
I sent a reply about removing personal file from my PC based ignition system and that I would need a few days, I even rang paypal and confirmed no buyer protection on cars.
In his next reply he said, I was just about to make the payment when i had this little problem with the picking up agent.
To fix the problem I would have to do a western union money transfer for £500 to his agent in Malaysia, and he tells me to go to a post office or online. as if I have that sort of money in the bank.
I sent a reply and haven't had anything back for 6 hours now.
I sent this,
To do a western union transfer I would have to withdraw funds from paypay first that takes a few days.
