Is this a scam???

[richtung]

HI Guys,

ive recently put my 4Mo up for sale in the auto trader and got a enquiry via email from a guy asking what the lowest price im willing to accept. So, i reply and the response i get is:

 

Thanks for the prompt response i will to buy the car for my Son as a birthday gift and I am currently at an industry exhibition as a engineer  I really want the goods to be a surprise for my Son  so i wont let him know anything about the goods until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more  than happy with the Product.i will need you to give me your PayPal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for the goods and pls if you don't have  PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.co.uk and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through.

 

What do you guys reckon? avoid like the plague?

Thanks

Rich

Get him to gift the money if its not then it cant be reversed I think.

When I got ripped off on dubforce forum I stupidly gifted the money and couldn't get it back.

If they send you the money , then you send the car in a crate, they then speak to paypal saying they have not received the goods you don't have a leg to stand on and paypal take the money back from you even if you have transfered it into your own bank account...you lose your money and your car!! biggest scam on ebay and auto trader,
