a********y 发帖数: 80 | 1 I am selling my used car on Craigslist. A guy responded as following:
"Thanks for mailing back,am ok with the price and the condition.Am
buying it for my holiday as i'll soon be coming from our rig as
am a petroleum engineer on a rig offshore,i won't be able to come for
the inspection due to the nature of my work,i would have love to call
in person but our satellite server has been down which restrict our
calls.i will be paying you through PayPal,pls get back to me with your
PayPal details so i can proceed with the payment and contact the
courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it in my place.
Await your reply."
This guy did not even want to take a look of my car or ask the VIN number
and would like to pay through paypal. I am hesitant to give out the
infomation he requested.
Did anybody here have the similar situation? Are there any tricks?
Thank you for your time and reply. |
