    Default Craigslist sniff check please

    Does this e-mail on my car sale pass your sniff check for BS?

    Hello,

    It sounds nice to know that it is still available. I have gone through the ad and I am satisfied with it. I am okay with the asking price and would love to go ahead with the deal right away. I am contacting you via email because I am hearing impaired otherwise I would have called you.Coming to your residence for inspection won't be possible,so you have to assure me that it is in the condition described. Please do me a favor by considering the item sold to me and if possible withdraw the posting from Craigslist immediately so that I can be rest assured that it is all mine . I don't mind adding an extra $20.00 for you just to take down the posting.

    Moreover, I'm very busy with my job and I'm out of town right now on a geophysical investigations in the mountains until July 15, so I will be paying you online via my PayPal account which is attached to my bank account because it is the only form of payment that I have access to right now and also good for online purchases. If you are interested in selling it please provide me your PAYPAL EMAIL ACCOUNT, ADDRESS FOR PICKUP AND PHONE # so I can initiate the deal through PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, visit www.paypal.com to set up one.

    Furthermore, you will not be responsible for the shipping as my mover will come over for the pick up as soon as I make the payment and you have received the confirmation of Payment from PayPal.

    If you need to reach me send me an email or text message 786-REDACTED. I drive in range every 3hours to check correspondence and respond at that time. I will wait your answer (if you are interested to sell) very soon.

    Kind regards

    Mary REDACTED

    My scam sense is tingling... Careful not to trip wading through all that bullshit.

    Red flags.

    I would call her, talk for a while to feel it out. Then if she is serious, I would take the $20 to hold it, unless you need to sell it soon. Then when she gets back into town have her meet you and take continue the transaction. No PayPal.

    There is NO reason to ship a regular car. Is the car you're selling a collector's item?

    This sounds like BS to me.
