I got the following from my Shelby GT ad on Craigs list:
Rio Fred: hello please i will like to know if this automobile is still up for sale......please get back to me ASAP...... FRED...
To which I replied: Yes it is still available. Thanks for the inquiry.
Fred: Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buy it now for birthday gift for brother in-law and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer 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. I really want it to be a surprise for my brother in-law so i wont let him know anything about it until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with it.i will be making the payment via paypal I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for it and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to
www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick it up after i have made the payments....... FRED....
Back at him: Sure. Have him meet me at an agreeable place and if he wants to buy it we'll go to a bank and transfer the funds. When the bank says the money is in the account he can have the title and keys. It takes about an hour. I'm guessing I won't hear from you again.
Guess what. Never heard from him.
Also, I already own Nigeria, so anyone claiming to have money from there is embezzling and will be dealt with.
