Hi there,
Thank you for getting back to me.Can you assure me that is in good
state and that i will not be disappointed with it?I'm ready to pay
your asking price and to be honest, i want to buy this for my brother
as his gift. I am a marine engineer that works on the sea at the
moment. phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but
i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email
regarding it so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can
send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting this transaction to
be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the pay pal
fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with
paypal, it is pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on
to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as
possible? I have a mover that will come for it once payment clears . i
will like to see more pics i look forward to hear back from you soon.

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!
