READ ALL OF THIS FIRST SO YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS SCAM >>
A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.
They encourage you to use paypal and don't want to view the car or quibble on price.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that they are going to get it picked up by a courier but then you get a FAKE paypal message saying that the buyer has paid you extra and you must pay the courier first via western union / moneygram BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the car, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service.
Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any type of motor vehicle.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
