Default Paypal car sale scams

Was wondering how many our there have been subject to, or, worse successfully scammed by these weird emails ?
I'm selling my falcon and have it listed online and have had a few email responses from people claiming they are overseas and want to buy the car now, via paypal.
NO questions asked about the car or anything lol.
Here's an example

Hello,>> Thanks for the swift reply, What is your asking price and i want you>> to get back to me with more pictures because i am not available at the>> moment, i am in Malaysia and i will be using the car here in Malaysia.>> I will be handling the pick up of this merchandise through a>> legitimate shipping agent that has their headquarter situated in>> Malaysia . Please note that i will not be needing the vehicle>> registration because it will be invalid over here so please remove the>> registration. The car will be picked up after you receive the full>> payment, so i really need to know the mode of payment because i need>> this car urgently. Hope to read from you asap.>>>> Kelly.

Thanks a lot. I have read everything about the car on the website andeverything is okay by me.I have actually tried to get this kind of car here earlier from here but mostof the ones I got either have one huge mechanical fault or the otherand some have even had accidents in the past while some are extremelyexorbitant.As to the price, Price is Ok. So if you deemthe offer good enough, I will be very glad to make the payment asapthrough my PayPal account as I am currently offshore and I won'tdefinitely be able tomake it to my bank to make bank wires across to you.As to shipping, I have a private shipping agent here in Malaysia that willcome for the pick-up of the merchandise after the payment has been sentand you have received it in full.Do get back to me asap with your PayPal Email address and Full name sothat I can remit the payment asap. Kelly.

sorry for the long post
