I responded with answers to his questions except I said I don't have PayPal. I knew something was off.

He responded with;
"Sound great its is in a good condition. I feel comfortable this way as I am a very simple person and understanding. Not that i dont like to pay you through the way you want but I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking and i can't go to the bank due to the nature of my job, 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 so i can make the payments asap for the item and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com 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 hope you understand me and I will be glad if you sell this to me and get a PayPal Account Set up so i can make payment straight away into it , Thanks so much and I will be waiting to hear back

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.

Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
