Very legit-sounding response from the "seller"
hellenstevens@hotmail.com:
Hello again,
My mother is terribly sick and the doctor is asking for about $3,000 before any operation can start because she has breast cancer and one of her breast have to be cut off to prevent the other from being infected since it has already been in a critical condition. My mother life is preferable than a car.
The total amount that you will pay is $5,250 with shipping and transfer fees included . First payment is $2,750 and the rest of payment($2,500) you can make after you receive the car and decide to keep it.
I can only deliver the car to your front door because I'm away most of the time I will not be able to deal in person. Like I said, I had pre-arranged the deal with Yahoo Finance so my presence is not necessary. My friend works with DAS delivery will help me with the shipping of the car. He agreed to help me with the shipping process, but he told me that he doesn't have time for meetings with the potential buyers.
The car will arrive at your door in 2-3 days. You will not pay shipping charges. As soon as the vehicle will be at your home, you will have 5 days to inspect and test drive the car. If you will not like the car 100% you will ship it back at my expense. I'm sure this will not happen because the car is in excellent condition. You will receive all the original documents and keys with the car. I signed all the paperwork and the clear title is ready to be transferred to the new owner.
The only way we can do this transaction is through Yahoo Finance because I want a smooth and safe transaction. You will have the chance to inspect the car before I will be paid.
Here is how it will work:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
- Working Phone#
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to Yahoo Finance .
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. The invoice will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. You will send the payment to Yahoo Finance .They will hold in trust the funds and advise me to ship to your address.
5. Yahoo Finance will contact me and I will ship the car to you. After you receive the car you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the car.If you will buy, then I will receive the payment details from Yahoo Finance so that I can pick up the money.
6. If you will decide that you will not buy the car, Yahoo Finance will refund the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my car.
If you are interested to buy my car, please send me your full name, shipping address and phone number so I can register the transaction with Yahoo Finance.
Yahoo Finance will reply you with more details and information about this transaction.
Thank you,
Hellen
