Hi,
My name is Sylvia and I'm emailing you about the 2018 Lark Texan Cargo 7' X 14' Enclosed Trailer. I don't know much about it but this was my father's trailer who recently passed away so I know it has always been properly maintained. It was always stored in the garage. The title is legally under my name, clear and free of any liens or loans. Final sale price is $1.000. I got a new job and moved to Great Falls, MT and many other things have priority now, so...this trailer has to go. If you are interested in buying it, feel free to email me at any time.

Thanks, hope to hear from you soon
Sylvia

Hi again and thank you very much for getting back to me but I would like to clarify some things first. I am selling the trailer at this price because my father passed away not long ago (he was very sick) and this trailer brings me bad memories, another reason for selling it is because I work in military and right now I'm on a military base. We are training and getting ready to leave the country. The trailer is already at the shipping company ready for delivery because someone agreed to buy it, but in the end he never got the loan (the price was different then). For this reason, the shipping is already paid for. I will use eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to test and inspect the trailer before paying me. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think that is enough time for you to make a decision about it. If you won`t like my trailer you notify eBay and you send it back at my expense but I assure you that won't be the case.

If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name, delivery address and phone number so I can start the transaction with eBay and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction (with no further obligation or fees). I apologize for the long email but I couldn't explain the process in fewer words.
Sylvia
If the victim had continued replying, whe would have received a spoofed email from eBay asking for the payment by Money Transfer, to a Bank Account or by gift cards.
