"Good to hear back from you. I'm okay with the price and the condition.
Presently, i am out of town for my vacation and i won't be able to come for
the inspection due to my location. Moreover, I would have loved
to call but am out of service for days now which
restricts calls.I have a pick up agent who will be coming for the pick up
after the transaction has been completed. I will be paying you through
PayPal as it is the only Medium at which i can send Payment at the Moment.
I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too
since i won't be be able to see this in person. And if you don't have a
PayPal account, It's pretty easy to set up a PayPal account at
www.paypal.com. it's just a few minutes away from signing up. it's
safe and secure for both Parties and i have been using PayPal to buy
and sell for years
now without problems. Pls get back to me with your PayPal email so i
can proceed with the payment and contact the Pick up Agent who will
come for the Pick up of the item.
I will need these following details so i can proceed with the payment right
away
1:Your PayPal e-Mail Address
2: Home Address
As soon as you get back to me with your PayPal email, I'll proceed
with full Payment. I look forward to reading from you soon.
Regards
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.
Consider switching off your AdBlocker (if you use one) or contributing directly by one of the links below. Thank you for reading!
