Thanks for getting back,I'm fine with the price likewise the condition
as described on the advert,exactly what am looking for,I work on a
remote mine site and the reception is terrible. We do not have access
to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet
messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?Does it have any
history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't
mind my asking.I am already in talks with the courier that will handle
the pick-up and delivery.

As regards the payment, I can pay you $1,350 through PayPal OR direct
bank deposit (EFT),using PayPal instant bank wire transfer service, I
will need your bank details and I will make the payment through PayPal
facility to your bank account,all I will need is your PayPal email
address OR account number,BSB number and account name.

With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and
signing of all paperwork will be done by the freight agent so you
don't have to worry about that.
I have limited time on the computer,your quick response will be appreciated.
Thanks....
Await your reply

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.
