Hey all - I just received an email from fullspeedahead@gmailcom <[email protected]> saying: "i will like to buy it get back to me get back to me ([email protected])". I told him where to go (not in a very nice way). I didnt see any reference to this "[email protected]" in this forum, so thought it would be helpful to get it on a search page now.

Our friend got a new job as an Oceanographer! Thanks for keeping an eye on scammers like this

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back to me. Please assure me that it's in good condition and that i will not be disappointed with it.I'm ready to pay your asking price and to be honest, i wanted to buy this for my Dad, but the issue is i am an oceanographer and i do have a contract to go for which starts tomorrow and am leaving any moment from now.The contract is strictly no call due to the lack of reception on the sea area. But I'm able to access email anytime as we will make use of laptop so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime. Since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the paypal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with paypal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I have a mover that will come for it once payment clears and they will be handling the title for me. So i look forward to hear from you soon.

Many Thanks...
