I received an email response within a few hours that read as follows: Thanks for the response,I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work we do not have access to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.

Regards, David I replied explaining the reasons why I was selling. I did not provide any payment information as I am no comfortable doing this. I then received this email: Hi Maddie, Thanks for the mail,i appreciate your honesty with the detailed explanation with regards to your words on the car status,am really satisfied and i also appreciate your honesty about the condition of the car as that is what i really need most as wont be able to come for inspection as am on-board. Happy to inform you that the fund is ready and available in my PayPal account so am ready to transfer the fund as soon as you get back to me with your payment details. Waiting to read from you ASAP. Regards, David At this point I definitely knew something was wrong. I googled \'davmark345@gmail.com\' and his name appeared on two websites. I responded to the last email asking if he was aware that his name and email appeared on two scam websites. He has not responded. | |||||
