Advertised caravan on Gumtree,

Hi,

Thanks for reply. I am interested in the immediate purchase. I am okay with the price and I will gladly cover the PayPal charges from my end. I work as an Oceanographer and I am presently offshore.

I can only make the payment via paypal because it\'s very safe and secure for both of us. In case you don\'t have a paypal account I\'ll advice you to register for one at www.paypal.com.au. I have a private pick-up agent that will contact you in-order to handle the pick-up at any location of your choice once the payment is completed. I would have loved the agent to handle the payment with cash but he doesn\'t make payment on customers behalf.

Question: I\'ll like you to tell me more about the present condition and have you ever experience any problem with it before?

I\'m very much interested and I want you to know that you don\'t have to surf around looking for buyers because you\'ve just found one. I want to make it a surprise for my cousin and it must be presented in few Weeks from now. I hope you understand my eagerness to complete this transaction a.s.a.p...? contact via phone would have been the easiest means to talk to you, but we are out of cell phone range and the satellite phone is playing up, email is the best means of contact for me at the moment, hope you can accommodate me on this? and I will also like you to remove the Advert online and consider me as your favourite buyer.

Immediately the payment is completed and transferred into your account, the agent will contact you in-order to handle the pickup from your location and he will also be of assistance concerning the change of ownership by presenting all the information\'s/documents needed to complete this transaction. This transaction is also based on HUGE amount of trust and I expect to see this from your end as it is on mine.

In your reply you can send me your PayPal details (Name and email address) so i can effect payment ASAP and also your contact address for pick up.

Looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Best Regards,
Deon

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.
