I thought it was weird, to text and not just email directly when my email is on the ad. After a few messgaes i recieved the following; "Thanks for getting back,i'm cool with the price likewise the condition as described on the advert.Am presently off shore right now working on an oil rig project.We do not have access to phone at the moment, that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal linked up with my bank account,please get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb acct name and number if you have no PayPal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct. Await your reply" I thought it was suspicious that they didn't want to haggle the price for purchasing the lot so i googled and facebook searched the name and found this website and multiple other sites with scam warnings. |
