Okay story is my dad doesn't want his car anymore and seeing as I used to dabble with buying and selling he left it to me to sell so little old me sticks his truck up for sale for £3,800 on Scumtree and gets a text earlier asking the condition etc and to respond via EMAIL. So I did and gets these ditties back:

Hi replying to your message regarding the Terrano I have for sale. First of all the condition of the truck is very good there is a deep scratch on the passenger side but other than that it is in fantastic condition as for the price on my ad it states £3,800 OVNO so with regards to that feel free to make me an offer all I can say is no so go ahead!
Secondly if you could call me with an offer that would be much appreciated as I work long hours and don't get the chance to get on the computer much. Either that or email me your telephone number and name and I will contact yourself.
Thanks in advance.

Ok just wanted to make sure nothing is been left out.
I will be purchasing this for £4000. Payment will be sent using PayPal
and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well. I will arrange with
someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i
am out of town at the moment.In the meantime, can you send me more
pictures (if available)?
Regards,
****.
I believe in all honesty tis a scam, though my dad doesn't!
What's your opinions?
