Here's Emily's version over about 6 emails.

Interested in car for my son....I am overseas so will pay by paypal...(When asked)Here are some made up details for new registered keeper(Made up but localish to me)....I will arrange courier.....I am at sea, don't have credit card and cannot pay courier.....can i transfer more into you paypal account and you arrange the courier....I am sending the car to Norther Ireland....

I replied once more with a the URL of a top google search result for 'gumtree car buyer scam' (or similar) signed off with 'For that reason, i'm out' (typed in Banbatynian Scotish accent).

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
