IS THIS NORMAL

[mol121p]

I AM SELLING MY CAR AND HAVE NOW HAD THIS E-MAIL TWICE

JUST WONDERING WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT

AS I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED STRANGE

Thanks for the prompt response.. i am willing to proceed with the
transaction now and am buying the car as a birthday gift for my son
and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and due to the
nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are
restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you
an email regarding it. I really want the car to be a surprise gift for
to my son so i wont let him know anything about the car until it gets
delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with the car. I
insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account
online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal
account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give
me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments
asap for the car and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is
very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you
have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for
registration with paypal so as to get the money transfer into your
paypal account. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the car
up after i have made the payments...

No this ste again. Please

If you could just leave me your account number and sort code, credit card number along with 3 digit security code and your pin number, I will transfer £400m into your account as I am the king of Umbongo-bongo land and due to political unrest in my home country, I cannot have it in my own account. I will leave you 10% of the money in return.

RUN AWAY!!!!!!

These pics always give me a laugh! How do people even consider them to be possibly genuine lol. But in answer to the OPs question the answer is indeed YES.It is always normal to get a scam email when selling.
