Default Does this sound dodgey?

okay so i put my car up for sale on the qoukka, and the next day i got 2 emails from 2 people asking for the lowest price of the car and some pictures,
so i returned there emails saying price is negotiable ect ect.

Now i received an email back from them this morning and they are both preety identical:

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt response. am buying the car as a gift for my Son as he will be adding another year in 3 weeks time. i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine Engineer.

And i really want the car to be a surprise for my son, so i won't let him know anything about the car until it gets delivered to him.I am sure he will be more than happy with the car.

I insisted on paypal 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, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address so i can make the payments asap for the Item and please if you don't have paypal account yet.

It is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up,after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through.I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the Item up after i have made the payments.
nb.....
i will like you to get back to me with the last price you are selling the car.
Regards

Fair enough if i got one like this but the 2 stories are the same, i belive it is too dodgey to proceed but what does everyone else thing?

cheers

do a google search, you will find heaps of people posting almost identical experiences to you, seems very common right now.

Hi

When receiving emails with links in them and you don't know/trust the senderm its best to type the link in yourself. Here the link may look like a paypal link, but is it really? and no I didn'y click the paypal.com link.

They create a 'mirror' site or record your details when you access the site don't they?
