Hello my name is jerome and i have put recently my car to sell on internet.
2 days later i received a message by from the website say that a guy is interesting. i tried his number but the phone is not connected so i send him a mail and that is answer :

''Thanks for the swift response and do as well advise on the least amount you will like to give it away as i am buying this for Dad and due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to come for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.

As for the payment..i can only pay via the fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal) here.

I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment have been made ...so no shipping included and With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the courier services company agent so you don't have to worry about that.

You can now send me your PayPal email so i can pay in right away and also include your address in your reply.If you don't have a paypal account, you can easily set up one...log on to http://www.paypal.com.au and sign up its very easy... i would have loved to talk to you on phone but i work mainly offshore, our phone is down on the rig right now due to bad weather,please get back to me asap
thanks''


it seems too good to be true but maybe...
so i prefer to ask here first if it seems all right ?
is there any risk for me to receive the money by paypal?

thank you

to me, this says "Send me your PayPal email so I can hack into your account and empty it"
