Selling a car, I get this e-mail:

Russian gangster said:

I reply:

Me said:

Thanks.

I get this back:

Russian gangster said:

Thanks for getting back to me and i appreciate your prompt reply..I am
presently out of town now but i am buying this for my Daughter Who
live in Russia and i will like to make the payment for this via Paypal
and also my mover will come for the pick-up...So kindly send me your
Paypal account ID and i will send the Payment for this item instantly
and once the money clears in your account ,my mover will come for the
pick-up.if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one at:www
paypal .com
cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your
PayPal email so l can pay and also get back to me with your best price
on this. I will be waiting.

So. I am right aren't I? If I accept payment through paypal, he can do a chargeback can't he? What if we complete the transaction through e-bay? (the advert is up on e-bay). Any way for me to be sure he can't take the money back? As far as I know the only way is via a BACS payment?

Cheers.

If this was through PH send me the details and we'll ban him from the email system and will warn others he has contacted.

And still you have to ask? Really?

God I hate those scammers.
I was looking for an MX5 recently. Missed out a nice looking white one because seller didn't answer to emails and phone calls. He obviously considered me to be another scammer since I was calling from Latvia and my emails stated that I'm not from UK.
Luckily another chap also selling a 5 wasn't so prejudiced and now has his own experience that not every request from outside UK is a fraud.
