What's this got to do with CT? Scamming is nothing new.

Pretty much as soon as you advertise your car online, especially places like carsales. You can guarantee that you'll get at least one of these emails. Obvious scam - tell every old person you know.

never heard of scamming before.. whats it mean?

Well it started with the bible waaayyy waaayyyy back...

Hi, Thanks for the prompt response. I will like to know more about its condition and possibly have more pictures of it. I will be very glad to have more pictures of it. I will be very glad to conclude this as soon as possible. I am a Flight Sergeant (FSGT) of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). As to the price, Do as well advise on the least amount you will like to sell it. I will be very glad to make the payment through my PayPal account as it is very reliable,fast,secure and easy to use and I have my bank accounts linked to my PayPal and shouldn't have any problem making this payment. Due to the nature of my work, I will not be able to come for the inspection. I will however be needing your address so that I can forward it to my shipping agent who will be coming over there for the inspection and shipping. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.. Stuart
