I replied to Barry asking which add he referred to, and told him it was best to ring me. Barry responded a week later. He asked me to create a pay pal account and send him a copy of the email used for the registration so he can pay in. Again the writer used strange grammer Copy of the emails pasted below. Thanks for any assistance you can give warning people not to give \'Barry\' their paypal details. Re: Someone wants to discuss your Advert!
