I am trying to sell my car on Trade Me, have been contacted by a 'buyer' wanting to buy car without viewing etc and wants to pay thru Pay Pal. Have only recieved a txt from a e-mail address & 1 e-mail, I am a bit dubious. Anyone know of any concerns I need to watch or beaware of. Thanks

I Just googled his email address and it is a scam. The e-mail was from walkingdall@gmail.com. Turns out he is from Malaysia thought i would post it for others in my situation.

Thats the same scammer i had when i was selling a car on here, wanted me to send more pics of the car to his email address etc. Trademe soon contacted me stating that a scammer had been in touch with me and warned me not to make contact so i left it and the scammer never contacted me again.
