    Currently selling my car on done deal,received a text for bottom price and some pictures. Knew it was a scam from the strange number and that I had to reply to a blumail account.
    So sent back an email with a DEARER price and got the following email within 45 seconds .

    Thanks for the prompt response,I am ready to buy it now as a birthday
    gift for my generous uncle and i am at sea at the moment as i am a
    Marine Engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making
    and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to
    check this advert and send you an email regarding it. I really want
    the Car to be a surprise for my uncle so i won't let him know anything
    about the Car until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be
    more than happy with the Car,I insisted on paypal because i don't have
    access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but
    i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to
    it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price
    so i can make the payments ASAP for the Car and pls if you don't have
    paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.ie 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. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the Car up
    after i have made the payments...
    Do people actually fall for these scams
