ROTTERDAM-  Well, first of all, I'm about 99.999% sure a payment that big wouldn't ever make it through our systems.  Just not gonna happen.  Second, look around on this thread, and you can see that whoever this person is who works on a oil rig, they really like to purchase things for their family.  Or at least say they've purchased it, then send a bunch of emails that make it look like you've been paid, then abscond with your possessions.  What I'm sayin' is, it's a good bet this person is fraudulent. 🙂

 

Hope that clears some things up for you.

Ha! I have received two of these type offers from different buyer emails for a car i am selling. One person is an "oceanographer" and the other works on an oil rig. Both are out of cell phone range and am trusting me that the car is as listed. Both also amazingly ! want to buy the car to give to their son and pay with pay pal! they both have stated they will have an agent pick up the car after the funds clear.

 

I dont understand why people think other people are that stupid!!

 

I feel like dragging them along for the fun of it!
