Is this a scammer???Advice needed
I have a car listed for sale on a free website. I get this email within 12 hours of posting my ad. I'm not selling the Cobra but the family sedan. This is just one of those things that sounds to good to be true so I thought I would bounce this off some of you experts and see what your thoughts are. I don't want to be duped.
Thanks,
John
I noted a strange discrepency with the I's, both lower case and upper case but also 1's are used.

Thanks for the reply, i am a sailor, i am at sea right now so l wont be able to check the item but l need more details about the item and also l will be more happy if you can send me some pictures of it because am buying this for my son as a surprise gift so am willing to offer you the amount you required. I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online(i don't have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my PayPal account, and this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay,all i will need is your PayPal email address to make the payments, and if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your PayPal email so l can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted. l will be waiting for your reply asap
