Complaint 186248 Details

I posted an ad on autotrader, Steven got in contact with me by SMS, and then followed an email chain absolutely identical to other complaints here. See below:

I'm very glad you want to sell this to me, i actually wanted to buy this for my dad abroad, i reside at (Personal Information Removed) due to the distance, also due to the nature of my job (offshore service technician) at an Oil rig, i am out of town at the moment, so i wont be able to come to see for myself or pay cash but i rely on the information you gave me about the vehicle? i really need you to send me the pics(inside and outside) asap so i can decide on the purchase asap. do you have a PayPal account? I will arrange with a shipping company to have this picked up at your location once i have paid.

Thanks for taking your time to explain to me the information i requested about what you listed for sale, I agree with the price you listed it for because I'm comfortable with the information you gave me. I'll want you to send me more pictures so that i can cross check and be certain of what i want to buy. Payment will be sent using PayPal, do you have a PayPal account?
