I have a D6 Cat for sale and have advertised it in the local trader paper and online at their site. Last night I received this email:
Name: Jordan Evans
Phone:
Email: evanszq03@gmail.com (Mods, if this is not appropriate please remove this email adress. On a google search of this email adress it led me to a few forums where the same email that I got had been posted along with his email adress)
Question
Hi,Do you still have it for sale? i will like to make an offer of the exactely amount you want to sell it,payment will be made through paypal and i will arrange for the pick up as well. Cheers, Jordan.
I replied that I still have it and when he would need it, and this is the response I got:
Hi thanks for mailing back,i am an oceanographer, i am at sea right
now,i am buying this for my son as a surprise gift and I am glad you
accepted my offer.I can only pay through paypal at the moment as i
dont 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 payments,and if you dont have a
paypal account yet,its pretty easy to set one up at www.paypal.com.i
will be expecting your email.I have a pick up agent that will come for
the pick up after payments has been sorted.
I didn't pick up that this was a scam until after I sent him my paypal email adress and I got suspicious... :Banghead
So don't be stupid like I was if you see something like this!!! I've reported it to the RCMP but I have doubts as to whether or not I'll ever hear about any outcome...
