to me
Thanks for your mail, am ready to buy it now, am not available to come to view the car,due to my work am Sailor am on Sea right now, but my agent will come and pick the car after have make the payment, 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 will make payment via PayPal because i don't have access to bank, So if you will send me your PayPal email or perhaps you send a PayPal payment request invoice to the same email so i can send payment. If you don't have PayPal account, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com website registration will take only 5 minutes. and tell me the total price of the car

Note that you will not be responsible for shipping and handling. The shipment will be arrange by my private transporter after you receive your payment.

Kinds Regards

I have got several of those for my Harley I'm selling. They have a hijacked PayPal account so they will send you the money and get the car but when PayPal finds out about the scam you will have to give the money back and the car is already gone. They get a car with paperwork for free and you get screwed. I emailed one of them back and told them no problem bring cash and meet me at this address which was the local police dept. For some reason I haven't heard anything back from him.

As my father taught me, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Do you really love the lamp? Or are you just saying that because you saw it?
