Hi after googling some info sent by this guy I have found that he is a scammer using different names.
My husband is selling a ute via gumtree (Australia) and this is the email he got today
"Thanks for the response, I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work we do not have access to phone at the moment, which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.
I am buying this for my first son who just graduated top of his class at Charles Darwin University in NT, He studied Building Design and Architecture. I want it to be the perfect graduation gift for him and am making it a surprise package ,Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind me asking. I don't mind adding an extra $300.00 for you just to take down the posting..I am already in talks with freighters that will handle the pickup and delivery .I will really appreciate if you can email more info
Due to the nature of my work I am a very busy man working all day,am a sailor am presently onboard, I don't have access to my bank account online as am not with my credit card details here but I have my ANZ bank account link up with my PayPal account so I will be paying you through PayPal to your nominated bank account or better still is if you have a PayPal account, please get back to me with your BSB and account details or PayPal account so I can proceed with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it is NT for my son .Await your reply."
Regards
Patrick...
Hope this helps others because from what I can see he uses the same message content but uses a different name
