Default Scammers

Trying to sell my car this weekend and spent all today emailing an (loser) individual in regard to details, here is the scam unfolding....

thanks for mailing back,am ok with the price and the condition,am
buying it for my vacation,because i'll be coming soon from our rig as
am a petroleum engineer on a rig offshore,i won't be able to come for
the inspection due to the nature of my work,i would have love to call
in person but our satellite server has been down which restrict our
calls.i will be paying you through PayPal,pls get back to me with your
PayPal details so i can proceed with the payment and contact the
courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it in my place.
Await your reply.


Ok send me your bsb and account number so that i can transfer the money to your account.

ok mate,i will let you know when the payment has been made and also contact my pick up agent.he will be signing the transfer papers on my behalf and all other necessary papers.

HERE IS THE PUNCHLINE

Message Body
I was just about to pay when i had this problem with the pick up, my
pick up agent says i will need to pay for the pick up before they can
schedule a pick up time, they charged me $950 for pick up and
delivery, and payments for pick up made through them is made to their
corporate international headquarters which is in the united kingdom
and the payments is made through western union money transfer, i will
add the $950 to the money i will send through paypal as soon as i have
made the payments, i will email you and let you know and please i will
need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent Hq in the UK
through western union money transfer, this can be done from any post
office ,there is always western union money transfer section in most
post offices(you can do it online as well at www.westernunion.com)...,
i would have done it myself but as i am at sea and didnt bring my
credit card aboard, i am a little incapacitated.I will appreciate your
help here.

You dont want to see my replies as it would be ALL edited.

There were a couple of them...BEWARE ALL YOU OUT THERE.
