    Hi Guys,

    A mate a mine is trying to sell his car at the moment. He got a mail back from a potential buyer yesterday enquiring about the condition, the price and availablity of car. My mate then mailed the potential buyer back to fill him in on the details. He then gets the below back in response.
    'Hi thanks for mailing back,am ok with the price and the condition, am buying it for my vacation, because i'll be coming soon from our ship as am a marine engineer on sea, 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 we have call restriction due to bad weather condition. 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.

    Seems very dodgy to me!!! Is this a scam?....and if so what angle are they using. I've never seen one using the paypal angle before. He's certainly using the kind of dialogue I've seen in previous scams.

    Thanks
