I had advertised a car on CarsGuide.com.au

Received a reply from Jamie Scott requesting the final asking price.

I replied stating the price and current condition of the car.

Within minutes there was a reply saying that's fine and requested that I send him my PayPal details or BSB Acc number for tfer of the money. The email also stated that once the payment was complete, he would arrange a courier to come and collect the car.

This all sounded too good to be true so I checked the New Zealand Oil and Gas company website (which he referenced) and discovered this is an existing 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.
