Hi Guys,

Would like your opinion. I'm advertising my 996 on website here in Australia.

Only at early stages but it doesn't feel right. Here's what happened so far:

First communication by Text:

"Hello, am interested in your gumtree (another website-not the one I advertised on)

car,what is the firm price? kindly get back to me at jamie.chris010gmail.com"

This is exactly as received (@ is missing in gmail address, but probably not significant)

I added the @ to the address and replied with this: " Hi Jamie- Make an offer and I

consider it- Jason" His text arrived at 1145pm. I replied @ 8am the following

morning and received this 10 minutes later:

Thanks for getting back,i'm cool with the price likewise the condition as described on the advert,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project.We do not have access to phone at the moment and that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal linked up with my westpac bank account,please get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb acct name and number if you have no PayPal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.
Await your reply


Problems:

1. Did not make an offer ( I would have accepted 1-2 $k less) will pay full asking amount.

2. No inspection-accepts my description etc

3.I know with Paypal transactions can take 3-5 days- Do people let cars go during

this period and thats how the scam works-pick up car and cancel transaction?

4. That expression: "will send my courier around" I've seen that wording before in

scams.

Just doesn't gel-what do you guys think?

Cheers

Jason
