ok no problem,I would not be able to come inspect at the moment due to the nature of my work. Could you send me more photos as soon as you can.Please do advise with your lowest price. Despite that, i will be paying you with my PayPal account because it's attached to my bank account and its safe and very secure way to make payment. If my mode of payment is accepted just send me your paypal email address,(Paypal ID) so i can pay in right away. Make sure you get back to me so that i can make the payment. I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been made. And if you dont have a paypal account, you can easily go to www.paypal.com and sign up. its very easy. I await your reply asap. There is some very similar phrasing to another email reported by me yesterday re: kapo project.

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.
