Guys, those that read the for sale section would have seen my bike is up for sale, so i also placed a add in the junkmail, and been communicating with this lady via email, but my gut just says something isnt kosher, what do you guys think, here is the transcripts of our emails.  (read from bottom up)

DEAR SELLER,

Thanks for the information. I am at sea at the moment because I work as a
Marine Engineer but I still have my family house in South Africa where I
lived for many years before relocating to the United States of America to
join my husband, and accordingly, I will be pleased to make the payment in
the United States dollars equivalent which is easily convertible to South
African Rands.


I will however be paying you by PayPal and insist on this payment medium
because I don't have access to my bank account online as I don't have
Internet banking. But I can pay from my PayPal account because my bank
account is fully linked and attached to it, and besides, the payment system
is perfectly secured for both of us. I will therefore need you to give me
your PayPal email address and your acceptable exchange rate of South African
Rands to United States Dollars so that I can make the payment as soon as
possible. In case you dont have PayPal account, you can easily set one up
within a minute at any branch of First National Bank in South Africa or go
to www.PayPal.com . Should you also wish to have
more information about PayPal which is now widely used for payments in South
Africa, the First National Bank in South Africa would be glad to help, you
could also obtain first hand information from FNB website on thins link
https://www.fnb.co.za/news/archive/2010/20100325paypal.html Please dont
worry about the PayPal charges because it is my responsibility to add it to
your price so that you can have your complete money. I need only your PayPal
email address to make the payment, and nothing else.

There is already a shipping agent for the Bike to ship it to our family
house in South Africa after you have satisfactorily received your payment.
The shipping fee will however will be included in my payment to you
according to PayPal requirements and it will be their ultimate
responsibility to ensure the successful shipment of the Bike .


Please let me know any other relevant conditions about the vehicle and the
total amount of your price in United States Dollars equivalent. The bike
is a surprise birthday gift for my fathers forthcoming birthday during
which every members of the family will be celebrating with him. Therefore, I


will be pleased to make your payment immediately so that you can thereafter
release the bike to the shipping agent as soon as you have your money in your
bank account through PayPal.


I will be pleased if you could still send me some few more pictures of the
bike for my personal viewing.


Thanks a lot.

MRS LARA HAEGEN .

DEAR SELLER,









Thanks for your response. Im glad to learn that the bike is

still available.





But could you kindly let me know the actual condition of its engine,

whether it is perfect or not and if there is any need to do any

mechanical or electrical work on it, either major or minor. I would

also be glad if you could kindly send me some clearer pictures of

the bike , if available.







Thanks a lot.
