Sounds Legit... :naughty:



No it doesn't.

Not sure if you're fooling around or not (don't know you well enough), but it's clear as day it's a scam Paypal or not. Paypal does not mean it's a sure thing. That money can be pulled out or deemed fraudulant up to 90 days later.

Stop communicating and don't sell to anyone unless they show up with cash. :2cents:

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.I am pleased with your price of 2800 and i want you to get back to me with more pictures of the (interior,engine and the exterior) of this vehicle (if available) because i won't be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work.Am buying it for my holiday cos I'll be coming soon from our rig as am a petroleum engineer and am on a rig offshore.As for the payment..i can only pay via the fastest and secure way to pay online (PayPal) here,pls get back to me with your PayPal details and in case you don't have,you can also get back to me with your bank details so i can proceed with payment and contact the courier agent that will come to pick it up and deliver it in my place,and With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the courier services company agent so you don't have to worry about that.  I await to hear from you soon.


I'm leaning towards you're not serious about this buyer because I don't think there's too many people around that still fall for this stuff  ;D

Tell him you have a hatred for folks who work on oil rigs and you have been building torpedos lately and you think you might have it perfected!

Find out which rig. If it's in Saudi I'll go by and check him out  :roflsmiley:

I know someone who opened a account with the $100.00 minimum , then closed the account after the transaction was completed .
