I advertised an old camper. SMS\'ed me saying to email final price. I replied from my gmail. He emailed back saying \"Thanks for mailing back,am ok with the price and the condition,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project.We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 15days off and 15days on and that\'s why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal,please get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb and acct number if you have no PayPal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.
Await your reply.\"

I said to send the funds to my paypal account -same as my email address.

Did this quick as I was at work and it was using my mobile.

Just checked for his name now online as it seemed to good to be true...

Should I worry that he has my mobile, name and paypal user name (no password or anything)? What is the danger unless he asks for money to get money put into my account? I haven\'t given him my account number or bsb but if I did what is the danger?

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.
