    Yeah, scamming is like a lucrative business now. There are thousands of scammers around the world, notably west africa, who are always sending out millions of scam emails everyday. These scams range from lottery winnings to asking you to transfer millions of dollars from a rich dead man's secret account etc... some of these scams are quite creative and unfortunately some people fall for it.

    Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buy the car now for birthday gift for brother in-law and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding the car. I really want it to be a surprise for my brother in-law so i wont let him know anything about it until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with the car. I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for it and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com.au and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the car up after i have made the payments...

    Thanks

    Only difference is his buying it for his brother in-law..common who buys a car for there in laws? lol
    Lol if there's such a guy out there who's so nice as to give his bro in law a gto, i'd marry my sister to him!
