We too have a car for sale on craigslist. Had a buyer within 2 days! This time it's Sandra Bradley, Marine Chef at sea. Here's a few of the emails. She/he actually wanted us to wire $1250 to a canada address for shipping charges and we would get that paid back to us via paypal. Seemed too suspicious. The last email she signed the wrong name! Here are a few of the emails: Hi there, Thanks for the prompt response, The price is okay by me. I am buying it for as surprise birthday gift for my son because i wont be able to participate on his birthday because i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine chef and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it, So i will be paying you via Western Union because i don't have access to my bank account on-line, but i can instruct my sectary to go and send the money via Western Union, So, i will need you to give me your receiver's name so i can instruct my sectary to make the payments asap, I have a pick up agent that will come and pick it up after the payments. Cheers Sandra. Hi, I will be responsible for everything charges from PayPal over this transaction because i have already inform them.. I have already explain to you that i can activate my bank account online but it has been attached with my PayPal account, So.. it will be more easy for me to pay you through my PayPal account.. I want you to know that i am a serious buyer and i only do business base on trust and understanding. I will be so glad if you can be real with me. Thanks Sandra. Hi- I was just about to transfer the payment when i had this little problem with the pick up of the item. The logistics agent i was able to negotiate the pick up of the item with said i will have to pay commission fee in advance, directly to their corporate international head office in Canada. where all payment deposit are made to, for any logistics services across the globe and the only form of payment they accept is via western union money transfer. They charged me and we agreed at $1,250 for pick up and delivery to door step, (fist class treatment). I will have to add the commission fee of $1,250 to the total money i am transfer into your PayPal account and i will need you to help me reimburse the shipping fee and send it over to them in their corporate international: head office in Canada. Through western union money transfer, so that i can be rest assured my appointment for the pick up is arranged and secured. The western union transfer can be made from any post office or online as well at <www.westernunion.com>..i would have done it myself, but i will need a credit card which i did not bring aboard, i am a little incapacitated..I will be making the payment shortly and will want you to get back to me before i get the money transferred. OK! Make sure you remove the ad from market immediately so it does not further generate interest..? Note: My shipping agent will have to show up with a purchase form/payment receipt copy from me as proof, so, Kindly send me your address so that the agent can ring you and figure your address out while coming for the pick up at your appropriate time/day of the week. Cheers Debby.
