Selling a motorbike on Gumtree and he asked about the price and I got this response.

Thanks for mailing back,am ok with the price and the condition.I\'m at sea at the moment as petroleum engineer on a rig offshore,i won\'t be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work and i would have called but our calling is restricted,also i\'ll appreciate some photo if possible.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal,pls 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 fund has been cleared into your acct.

Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Helvis sent the same email as everyone previously saying he is a petrol engineer. Stupidly I sent bank details and have had to freeze my account since. He is a fraud!

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.
