   paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all
   i will need is your paypal email address to make the payments, and if
   you dont have a paypal account yet, you can set one up at
   www.paypal.com it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be
   expecting your paypal email so l can pay. I have a pick up agent that
   will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted, and also do
   get back to me with your best offer. l will be waiting for your reply
   asap you can call me on this number +447024058889 British police should phone this number

   So the scammer is still at sea! When we heard the word Paypal we suspected a scam which is why we suggested to our friend that he googled the lady´s name (of course it could be a man. Our friend received and identical letter from this scammer.

   
   

   Anyone seriously interested in purchasing 100.000 euro ex Formula 1 race car transporter would invest in a trip to inspect the vehicle before purchasing. Fraudulent bankers orders are currently being used to purchase luxury second hand vehicles in the UK. Never let the vehicle out of your sight until the bankers order has been cleared and the proceeds in our banks account. Your insurance company does not cover this type of theft.
