I emailed back price and condition and person emailed back this response
\"Thanks for the reply,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 21days off and 9days 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 after the whole funds has been cleared into your acct.I would have loved the agent to handle the payment with cash but he doesn\'t make payment on customers behalf.

I got two text messages from two "different" people but using exactly same wording "Hi I just viewed your car ad, Pls confirm ur selling price and d condition 2 my email address asap" One was from Nick on the number above - one was from Bidem on Web SMS019. Your site and this response confirmed my suspicion that it was a scam

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.
