What do you reckon , legit gumtree reply ? :)

I do really appreciate your response,The price of what am buying as advertised is okay by me by offering £50 to hold it and make sure it sold to me alone.. I will strongly like to make an outright purchase of this immediately due to your Integrity as stated in your ad which shown that your a real seller,I really love the condition of what am buying but please for further assurance that this real and legit just email me some pictures with final price along for it ASAP.. I may sound rude,but please understand that i have to be caution of what am buying as many untruthful seller are full online buy/sell nowadays.. I would have come down myself for the inspection and make the transaction done in person but due to the nature of my work i couldn't, beside, get back to me with the following:

(1) How long have you had it?

(2) I will like to know the reason why you are selling it..

(3) Hope i'll enjoy it?

(4) What are the major problem of it?

Note that i'll be responsible for shipping and handling. I have decided to use the program "Buyer and Seller Protection" offered by PayPal Inc in order to make the transaction done fast cos it take 2-3 days business. Do bear with me and get back to me on time with your PayPal account name and email or easily send an invoice to this same email am using to communicate with you as its the same thing with my PayPal, if you dont have an account with PayPal you can easily set one up via www.paypal.co.uk. I want only legit transactions!If you are not aware of how they operate you should know that they will give both of us proper protection as i have choose a non reversible payment method while setting an account with them, you'll receive a confirmation stated that the payment has being sent immediately.. As soon as payment is confirmed by PayPal to your nominated bank account, my mover would come down for the inspection and shipping handling,please provide me your full name,Visible home address(street,city,postcode,
state) and your PayPal name and email address so that I can start making the payment. as soon as i can.

Thanks and reply asap

'Visible home address'
I don't mind sharing that one. it's the vanishing home address I like to keep to myself.

Don't see the problem, they assure you they are real and legit right there in the first paragraph. I think it might even technically be the first sentence.

Oh yes,

While I never reply to this stuff, I'd be very tempted to tell them I don't think they'll enjoy it and refuse to have any transaction on that basis.

I'm guessing English is his second language.

Or the second language of whoever it was copied from. Though there is a theory that having so many obvious mistakes helps ensure only easier marks reply.

"I want only legit transactions!"

Classic scam... avoid.
No mention of what you are selling, offering to handle  the shipping so that you lose your PP protection.
All the usual signs..

Somehow I don't think you were fooled

Nooooooo! Stay well clear! Just look at the unusual wording and the grammatical mistakes...they are not British grammatical mistakes. I assure you this is a scam of some sort. Always avoid the unusual. Better not to sell than lose out.

I had such an email before when selling on Gumtree - steer clear.
