    I receive this email from a person who wants to buy a machine from me. Only contact is via email.

    I believe it to be a scam, opinions please.

    okay , i can understand and i am good to deal with your firm price (xxxx),I'm sorry, i should really call/text you but the nature of my job don't allow me to make or receive calls, i can't be seen doing that else i'm putting my job on the line. I hope you understand me i am right now at the military Base. I will have you paid via PayPal as all my 2 accounts are linked to PayPal, moreso PayPal is the only means i can get you paid and you don't have to worry about the shipment, i will contact my transport company, the company will have it picked up as soon as the payment is made and been cleared into your account.do get back to me with your paypal email address and name ... Hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks

    I have been to many military bases in my career, and there has always been a phone around somewhere.

    Thanks.

    Quoted from Mudflaps:

    I'm in the Air Force, and the dead giveaway is 'Air Force Base.' We're too damn lazy to type that. It's just AFB.

    Ha, ha...

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    He's from the government and here to help me out...
