Hi, I really appreciate your quick response over my request, I have gone through it on the website and am highly interested in it. i really want to get the Jayco pop-top caravan so i will accept your offer for the lowest price as you have stated. I would have come for an inspection, but due to the nature of my job and location I will not be able to come for inspection, As am a very busy type and I work long hours everyday, I have gone through the advert and I am satisfied with it. Due to the amount involved in this transaction i will be paying via PayPal account which is the safest and secured online payment mode, If my mode of payment is accepted kindly send me your PayPal email address so i can make the payments as soon as possible or send me a payment request from your PayPal account so i can effect payment to you right away. 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, I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment have been made and he will take up everything after payment have been made… so no shipping included. Thanks for been kind and considerate..

Something wasnt right! I googled his name and came across all this!
How does he work this??? Im not sure if people are giving him the car before they receive the money into there account!!?? But im not going to try this out!!! Because i thought PayPal was safe and secure! And was so sceptical and still cant figure out how he can get the cars without payment!

only want to pay with paypal so DONT GIVE PAYPAL !!!

Contacted today by this number today Tamara Bianco..... apparently blah blah story... I work long ours can't get to see the car but am just asking for your honesty.. In final email got my name wrong - red light!

Yes my daughter advertised her 10yr old Hyundai Accent a few days ago and got the exact same bull$hit email story from this guy (see below): I'm not sure how his scam works, but i'm certain it IS a scam !

Subject: Just about to make the payment
Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 05:33:08 +0000
Hi, I'm about to make the payments when i had this little problem with the picking up of the Vehicle, I think you remember what i said in my previous mail that I'm currently out in the middle of the desert at the moment on a nickel mine-site, So i tried to secure booking with my pick up agent but they asked me to pay the agent commission fee first before they can make the booking, and they only accept Western Union Money Transfer for payments and they don't accept PayPal or bank transfer.

So I tried to send the money online but it's not going through and I am in the desert and there is no way i can find a western union agent to make the transfer to my pick up agent, so i wanted to ask if it will be OK for me to include my pick up agent's fees together with your payments through PayPal,So you will help me wire the pick up fee to them via western Union Money Transfer immediately i pay you.I don't mean to bother you I'm sure you understand that I'm presently on the Mine in the desert and there is nothing i can do to that.

The bottom line is after I have made the payments out via PayPal,you will help me wire my pick up agent fee $850.00 to them through western union money the western union money transfer can be made at a post office near to you,there is always a western union agent in most post offices or online at www.westernunion.com.au, I just wanted to seek your consent before going ahead with the payments. I will be very happy if my offer is given a favorable consideration..
cheers

Here's another one ! This time callng himself John Warwick. I reckon it's the same guy or same gang ? Still not sure how the final sting works tho ?? spread the word bout this:

john.warwick231@gmail.com
Thanks for the reply am so sorry that i couldn't call you due to the nature of my work,I work with AWE New Zealand Pty Ltd and we are presently on rig at the moment,on the west aquarius submersible to be precise.I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work we do not have access to phone at the moment,its 20days off and 10days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility and where is it located at the moment.

I am buying it for my first son who just graduated ontop of his class at Charles Darwin University in NT ,He studied Building Design & Architecture. I want it to be the perfect graduation gift and a surprise package for him ,Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking.I am already in talks with freighters that will handle the pickup and delivery to my son.I will really appreciate if you can email more info.

As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit,using paypal instant bank wire transfer service, I will need your bank details.If you are not comfortable with that, you can set up a paypal account proper and I will make the payment through paypal, this way, all I will need is your paypal email address.

Kind Regards,
John.
