 Scammer Information
I was selling a recliner chair for $1200 and this is the response after they sent the first email saying they were interested.
"I'm happy to read back from you and very keen to buy right now. I will not be able to meet you for inspection and collection because I moved to Riverton, but I have a personal representative courier agent that will meet you for collection after payment has been made, the courier agent will also handle and sort all paper work or registration if needed on this purchase when they meet you for collection.

I cannot take calls or make one due to my ear ailment I barely hear clear and I squeezed out time to search for the advert because I want the courier agent to deliver it to my new house in Riverton before my arrival. I am presently in my daughter's house, she just has a baby and I will be back to Riverton in December. I am ready to make the payment now so get back to me with the details below :

Account number:
BSB:
Name:
Final price:

That is all I need in order to make the payment through a secure online bank transfer from my bank to yours. I will transfer the money to your account and my personal representative courier agent will meet you for the collection and deliver it to my new house in Riverton after you confirmed the payment.

Thanks."
