The above email address was sent to me from AutoTraderClassics.com indicating interest in my vehicle for sale. Once I contacted her this is the reply I got:

Thank you for getting back to me, can you assure me that i will not be dissappointed if i buy this Vehicle as a Birthday gift for my Dad? as I\'m ready to pay your asking price but not cash in person because I\'m an Oceanographer and i am presently on a contract which will end in couple of months, the contract is strictly do call due to the lack of reception on the sea ares, but I\'m able to access my mail through my laptop and my only quickest payment option is PayPal, its safe fast and secure and i will be responsible for the pay pal transaction charges so you can get your expected amount. If you don\'t have an account with paypal, its pretty easy to open one, Just log on to www.paypal.com and sign up. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? as my Dad\'s birthday is fast approaching, am sure he will love this vehicle, his a mechanic and a handy man, so if there is anything that need to be fixed in it just let me know he will handle it. I have a mover that will come for the pick up once payment clears in your account and he will handle the title for me. I look forward to hear from you with the information below.

The exact same response to my car for sale ad as the previous one I just read only better spelling. They say they are an Oceonographer and want to buy the car for their Father for his birthday.

Scam Email
I was not scammed. I recognized it as a scam right away. This person or people are using the same story only sending under different email addresses and different names. They are trying to get the advertiser to divulge their PayPal information.

Classic PayPal scam. The buyer makes payment, receives goods, then revokes payment claiming it wasn't authorized:
Here's the second email you receive after checking if your item is still for sale:

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. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. 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.
