Another scam

[Skyedriver]

Received a text to phone yesterday asking me to contact them about a car I have advertised on PH
I emailed them and received a well written reply with some obvious scam signs:

Good morning.

Thanks for the response, I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work, I work with the British Army Corps, we do not have access to phones at the moment which is why I'm contacting you back here. I'm very interested in your vehicle's Advert posted on Pistonheads.

I am buying this for my first son, who just graduated on top of his class at Aviation University. He told me in the past that he wanted this type of vehicle, and that's why I'm making this vehicle to be a surprise package gift for him now. Does it have any history I should be aware of, and why are you selling it if you don't mind my asking??.
I don't mind adding an extra £200.00 for you just to take down the posting on Pistonheads and sell it for me.. I'm already in talks with a freighter who will handle the inspection, pickup and delivery. I would really appreciate it if you could email more info.

I am a very busy woman (I'm Operating Officer) presently on-board but I have my Lloyds bank account linked up with my PayPal so I will be paying you through my PayPal Account to your nominated bank account, so please do get back to me with your Sort Code Number, Account Number and Account Name or better still if you have a PayPal account send it to me so that I can proceed with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick up the vehicle and deliver it to my son.

Please, I would like to know the vehicle inspection's day, time and the location to inspect it so that I can arrange the inspection with the courier agent.

Also, what is the best price for the vehicle??.

Awaiting your reply.

Thank you.

Kind Regards.
