Wedding dress scam - offer to buy wedding dress for full price without viewing it as working on an oil rig. I received a text which I assumed was automated from the 'bride2bride' website, however it wasn't as I have no official messages on my account. I haven't since replied as the email below sounded far too dodge, I assume there is a trap in there somewhere.

Thanks for your response,
I want you to consider this a deal as i am willing to pay your full asking price! i actually want to buy it for my cousin who is urgently in need of it, i have checked through your advert and i'm fully satisfied with the size,color,designer,neckline and everything. It’s such a wonderful dress!
Unfortunately, i would not be able to come personally to collect, i work offshore as an instructor on a oil rig so i don't have time at all, but like i said i am 100% OK with the advert. Also, if it has not been dry cleaned i will sort that out myself .
I will pay you via PayPal once you are ready and send my courier agent to collect after you have fully received your money as that is the only means of payment available to me at the moment.
I will contact the courier agent now so please get back to me with a suitable collection time.
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.
