Dear mrskrsty

I have a car sale in the "Auto Trader". I have received those emails.

(1) Thanks for your response..I'm quite satisfied with the condition and
price,and I need you to understand that i am willing and ready to
purchase it right away, end the advert, consider me as your favorite
buyer. I will be paying the PayPal charges (3.4%) from my account and will be
paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay, and I hope
you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just send me the
address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or
you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive the details
i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then I will
contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need
your home address for it to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company..

Regards

(2) Thank you for getting back, Anyway, I'll like to know your final asking price. How I wish i could come for inspection but I'm currently out of town for my UN course.

Due to this inability to bring cash physically, the best way ao pay for me would be through PayPal which is safer for you and I will cover the PayPal transfer fees. Kindly send me a PayPal payment invoice or create an account at www.PayPal.co.uk if you don't have one.

I will arrange with my pick up agent to collect from you as it is the best way I can handle this professionally.

Please, I'd like to know certain things too; Are you the first owner? What is your reason for selling? I'm sorry, just want to be sure about the sale before i proceed on payment.

Regards,
Tereza
Hi there,

Apologies for the late reply. I have now completed the transfer and i expect PayPal to have emailed by now. I sent £1,900.00 including my agent fees to [email protected]. PayPal said they would be holding the funds and it will not be credited into your account because of the excess payments of £350.00 i added meant for pick up and delivery. They said they have emailed you to this effect, so you will need to send the £300.00 to my pick up agent's office via western union money transfer so that PayPal can credit the £1,900.00 into your account as soon as you have emailed the western union details to them. I added extra £50 to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be more than £20 but just to be sure i added £50 and you can keep the remaining change for your running around, Here is the pick up agent's info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer. Please get in touch asap. Note that they wanted to confirm the payment to there South Africa branch office address.

Name: salako abiola saheed
Address: 45 Kempton Park,
Johannesburg,Gauteng
South Africa.
