I posted my vehicle for sale on Boostcruising.com last night (11/12/2011) and this morning received a text message asking for more details via this email address. After sending the information, I received another email:

Hi thanks for the mail,am ok with the price and the condition,am
buying it for my holiday,because i\'ll be coming soon from our rig as
am a marine biologist working offshore,i won\'t be able to come for
the inspection due to the nature of my work,i would have love to call
in person but we have limited access to calls due to bad weather condition.
i will be paying you through PayPal,pls get back to me with your
PayPal details so i can proceed with the payment and contact the
courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it to my place prior my arrival.
Await your reply.

It seemed a bit suss so I then requested further information for transfer papers, without providing PayPal details and was provided with:

Here is my details needed for the paper work.
Luke Brown
36 koolpinyah crescent tiwi northern territory 0810,Australia
lisence number - 16723XXX
DOB- 29th oct 19XX (Crossed in case it belongs to a real person)

Then found this page. Unfortunately by this time, I had found this page and I had told him I wouldn\'t accept PayPal, so I don\'t expect to hear from him again, but hopefully the information I did extract from him will help someone else.

Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
