  | Ian Brown Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia 2011-12-31 02:44:10 Classified Ads Scam Paypal (paypal.com) |   Tried to buy my car
Inked below, except he was a petroleum engineer, on a rig, having trouble calling etc etc. asking for Paypal details. Unfortunately I gave him my email address for PayPal, but then found this site. So I have closed all accounts with them now. Be ware, whoever this is they are very convincing, and sound legit. Below is a transcript of my discussions with this person; On 31/12/2011, at 11:50 AM, \"warren jason\" thanks mate On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 5:48 PM, Xxxxxxxxxx wrote: Warren, As stated, I was stung $100 by having to re advertise the car because someone said they\'d buy it. I\'m happy to \'hold\' it, and not accept any further offers until the funds arrive in the paypal account, but I can\'t afford to keep re-advertising. Sorry... But certainly happy to hold for the moment.

When I see the funds cleared, then I will proceed. Sorry for the weariness of this transaction, but I have already been stung by another \'email\' approach regarding this car. Talk soon, Best regards, Xxxxxxx Sent from my iPad On 31/12/2011, at 11:18 AM, \"warren jason\" Thanks so much mate i can transfer over 12k as i have linked my paypal account with my bank account so wiil let you know as soon as the payment has been made also contact my pick up agent to arrange a convenient time and date between you and him for the pick up after the payment has been made.

Total $28,500. * My paypal account details are simply an email address. So the account is;    Xxxxxxx@xxxxxx Once all funds are cleared by Paypal in full, I will then begin to submit all paper work to Main Road and get the Roadworthy done. It will need someone (if not you) someone you know ( not a courier) to sign the documents over to ie rego, etc. how do you see this working?
