I recently put an add for my off road campertrailer in the for sale section of this site and also on Gumtree. I got a text this morning seemingly from an Australian mobile as it has the +61 in front of the number. The text reads: "Sent from: Luccy. What's the present condition and final price of you trailer. Best way to contact me is via my email Luccysammy@outlook.com."

I sent an email to that address and got the following response: "Thank you for the mail,i am okay with the condition Likewise your asking price is quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately,Am buying it for my SON who has just graduated from Charles Darwin University NT. I'll have it for the listed price,please kindly send me your BANK details or pay pal payment email to set up purchase,as i don't have access to my bank account online as am not with my credit card details here on our mine site but i have my ANZ bank account linked up with my PayPal account so I will be paying you through PayPal to your nominated bank account.i would have love to call in person but we have strict no phone policy due to bad weather condition and i won't be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work 4weeks on 1week off,i will arrange for pick up and delivery by my pickup agent after the cleared payment to your account."

Now I'm thinking this is more than a bit shady and wondering if your guys are of the same opinion. Or....do you think I'm being a bit over cautious. Just seems a bit too good to be true to me.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
