put my car up for sale on gumtree, 10 minutes later get a txt saying

\"Sent from: QPCXMM hi mate, is your car still for sales? pls advise on your firm price and get back to me through my email (kimstuart56@live.com)\"

I fell for it and emailed back my firm price, then I get an email back saying the following:

\"Thanks for the reply and 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 o not have access to phone at the moment, its 20 days off and 10 days on, which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility and where is it located at the moment. I am buying this for my first son who just graduated on top 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 me asking. I am already in talks with freighters that will handle the pick up 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.

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.
