I've just received a text asking if my car still for sale from a Selena Anderson saying she would take car pay through PayPal but is sending a courier as is deaf and in a wheelchair instantly knew this was a scam! If anyone receives a message from this fool don't reply it is a SCAM!! They want locking up scumbags

Just happened to me this morning, first a text then emails from Sylvie Rosanwo redcrosslover01 at gmail.com. Offering to pay via PayPal and have item collected by courier as she has hearing loss and in a wheelchair and it’s for her cousin. I nearly got caught by this, I had replied and everything! Luckily googled her babe and found this scam thread - thank you so much for posting. Was a lot of money!! 😱

Good job I did a quick google of Sylvie Rosanwo!  Exact same message: 

Great! please consider it sold as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and me being on wheelchair. I would appreciate if you email me with more photos (if available) since i'm unable to see it in person. I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and i'll pay you via PayPal today. 
Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now?
