haha I got an almost identical e-mail except it was typed better with no typo's. I was selling a car on CL and the guy pm'd be basically that message but he said he was in the (insert service branch, maybe navy or marines?) and he was at sea at the moment and would be unable to come in person and was buying for his wife. and then said the same thing about paypal etc. and never said car always said "item". I knew right away it was a scam and this type of e-mail is sent out all of the time just with a different job description or typed up slightly different, but avoid it.

Hi,
Thanks for your mail,I will not be coming to view it because of my
Job,i am an oceanist and i am buying this for my dad.i am at sea right
now, i accept your offer and i will be happy to accept my offer.I can
only pay through paypal at the moment as i dont have access to my bank
account online,but i have it attached to my 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,its pretty easy to set one up at i
will be expecting your email. my mover will come for arrange to pick
up after payment clear .
Thanks and nice doing business with you...

O NO I SCARE

LOL, I got the same email a few months ago while trying to sell a jet ski on CL. I got the email like 10 mins after the ad went live on CL, and it was the same thing...they never referred to it as a "jet ski", just "it" and "the item". First thing I did was hit the delete button.....
