We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 15days off and 15days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?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 the courier that will handle the pick-up and delivery it in NT. > > As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit,using ppal instant bank wire transfer service, I will need your bank details. If you are not comfortable with that, you can set up apaypal account proper at www.paypal.com.au and I will make the payment through paypal, this way, all I will need is your paypal email address. > Cheers!! I was a little confused as to why this bloke would tell me all the details of his life just to buy a car so I Googled AWE NZ Pty Ltd (which does indeed exist and seemed legit), but then tried to find Taranaki Basin Kapo project and found this site. Thanks so much, you saved me from a scam, however this f***ing $%^& now has my mobile number and my email address. | ||||
