am buying this for my son as a surprise gift. I can only pay through
paypal at the moment as i don\'t have access to my bank account online(i
dont have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my
paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all
i will need is your paypal email address to make the payment, and if
you dont have a paypal account yet, you can set one it cant take you
less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your paypal email so l
can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after
payment has been sorted, l will be waiting for your reply asap.. |

'Perpetual Lawson' responded to a property ad on Gumtree and told me her father would be taking care of the rent for her. He turned out to have the exact same details as a scam already published on this site. 'Perpetual's' e-mail is pelawson1@gmail.com
