Scam/fake PH ad response?
Discussion
Guys, this sounds all too farcical to be true, but please let me know what you think. Selling cars can be woeful at the best of times but I really do think this is a scam.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.I am pleased with your price of 3400 and i want you to get back to me with more pictures of the (interior,engine and the exterior) of this vehicle (if available) because i won't be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work.Am buying it for my holiday cos I'll be coming soon from our rig as am an engineer and am on a rig offshore.As for the payment..i can only pay via the fastest and secure way to pay online (PayPal) here,pls get back to me with your PayPal details and in case you don't have,you can also get back to me with your bank details so i can proceed with payment and contact the courier agent that will come to pick it up and deliver it in my place,and With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the courier services company agent so you don't have to worry about that. I await to hear from you soon.
No phone call, no real car questions, and no mention of getting said courier to hand over the cash on collection... or even to make a CHAPS transfer for that matter. Sounds like a total ->
