Hello thanks for reply, i am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now. I am buying this for my son as a surprise gift. However,does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking and I will really appreciate if you can email more info and if possible more photos.  I can  only pay through paypal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank  account online(i dont 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 payment, and if you dont have a paypal account yet, you can set one  it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your paypal email so l can pay and your phone number.  I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payment has been sorted,  l will be waiting for your reply asap.

It is a scam.
They will want you to send them your PayPal email address so they can send you a fake PayPal deposit invoice.

Here is how the "PayPal Scam", or any other online money service, works:
They say they will buy your item, unseen.
They say they will pay you extra money to cover the shipping charges through their shipping company or agent.
They request your email address linked to your PayPal account.
They instruct you to wire the extra funds they send you to their shipping company or agent.
You receive a invoice from PayPal to your email, stating the funds have been deposited to your PayPal account.
So, you use your money to wire the funds to the shipper.
You then find out the PayPal email was fake, it was sent by the scammer, there were no funds deposited into your PayPal account.
The money you wired, was really picked up by the scammer, it is unrecoverable.
You are out the money you wired.

The same scam is also done with money orders, bank drafts, or cashiers checks.
In these cases, the check you receive, for funds over the amount of your item, is forged, stolen, or counterfeit.
As it may take several weeks for the banks to realize the check is bad, you may not know you have been scammed.
Worst yet, as you passed a bad check, you can be held criminally liable.
You are out the funds you wired, return check charges, and face possible arrest.

i got a word for word message from this guy. He first text me from a 914 area code asking for me to email him. I had a weird feeling about this so I created an email to email him from that had none of my personal information linked to it. He is still pestering me, even after I told him I will not provide him with any further personal information and that the only form of payment I will accept is cash and that I will not sell the car buyer unseen.

Yup, this guy is STILL out there. got an email from hi yesterday

Got lots and lots of emails of this guy he wanted to buy my mk4 golf supposedly

For a suprise present for his son '

My [***] for his son

He said he transferred the money into my paypal account but it wouldn't be available till I sent some money through Western Union

I don't have a [***] clue what this was

Basically I guessed this wasn't right as it got more into detail he got my girlfriends paypal
I'm guessing he can't do nothing with it due to paypal being very very secure

He's obiously out there scamming people every day and prober boy making a lot of money of it too

I googled his email and seen the amounts of pages saying his email is a scam this guy need to be reported and have his IP adress found and to be arrested in from the UK its self I have plenty of screenshots of all the emails from the start due to be always having a second mind think in this situation we should all consider our selfs lucky that we wasn't scammed

Thanks for posting on this page guy It could of been me scammed if it was not for you guys
