OK so I'm trying to sell my car online via craiglist and got a email asking more info about the car and I replied and heres their reply agn:
Good to have your reply,Well it a very good idea to see what i want to
buy for my self but i want you to know that i am not around for now as
i have just been posted out due to the very nature of my work but i
want you to be rest assured as i will arranging for the pick up agent
who will be inspecting the car and get the title and particulars thing
taken care of so all, With the issue of details,transferring the name
of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by my pick up
agent so you don't have to worry about that...i' am okay with the
stated price but i can only make the payment via PayPal..You can now
send me your PayPal email so i can pay in
right away and also include your address in your reply... Hope to hear
from you soon

This made me kinda suspicious(which im most of d tym) why would someone send third person when hes spending big amount of money (at least for me :P ) $6500. And I havent had provided much info either like vin# not evn picture just told him about mileage and yr and he says hes ready to buy..well he did say he will send someone to inspect but..all these made me more suspicious...im sure going to tell him I'll prefer cashier's chk or money order but still what do you guyz think? Does it sound fraud on first sight or could it be not? If he says he can only do paypal should i accept? well I'm not in rush to sell my car so maybe I'll pass just to b in safe side.
