Morning,
I've got my car for sale on autotrader.ca and have this guy emailing me from an @gmail.com account. He says he wants to pay me with paypal, what does the brain trust of PPOT think about this? Scam?
I can't see the harm in giving him my paypal email address, but doing some checking before I do; who else would I ask?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the mail, i am buying this for my Cousin and i am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore i really want this to be a surprise gift for my Cousin so i wont let him know anything about the this until it gets delivered to him , i am sure he will be more than happy with it.I can only pay with PayPal here, i will need you to give me your PayPal email address so i can make the payments asap and pls if you dont 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.for you and they will let you know how you will get the money,tell me more about the advert,the price is okay by me
Note Well
PS:Pick up agent will come for the pick up as soon as i have made the payments, i would have loved to talk to you on phone but i am a petroleum engineer I work mainly offshore, our phone is down on the rig right now due to bad weather, we can only communicate with our base for now.
Cheers.
