Hey Brian,
We are interested still, not interesting in losing our money if this is a scam. Lets do this, if this deal is legit and you are not a scammer, have the vehicle shipped to my
address so we can look at it, with title, if we decide to by it I will pay for all your cost, shipping, all fees, etc. even give you your asking price of $2800, when we receive
all that is needed for the vehicle, then I will send you the money for this purchase plus $400 dollars to help you with your mortgage problem because I am ex-service,
honorable, dependable, trust worthy, and for god and country, semper-fi, this is how this transaction must be done if I and Dawn cannot see the vehicle and title not in hand.
You want us to trust you then trust us and lets get this done today.
Hope to hear from you soon and have a good day!
Sincerely,
.

Hi,
I received the Yahoo Autos instructions and they should contact you soon regarding payment instructions and other details.Read them carefully and proceed with the payment. As soon as I have the confirmation from Yahoo Autos that the money has been sent to them I'll start the shipping process, which will not take longer than 3 days.The car will arrive with all the proper and legalized papers required for registration , including clear title already back signed by me. Please make the payment for $2400 because i reduced the price since i want a fast sale.

It is possible that your email can not support HTML language , that's why check your Bulk/Junk/Spam folder as well , if you don't receive the protection program / payment invoice in your inbox .

Also let me give you a tip.
When you transfer the funds Western Union might require information about the nature of this transaction, when they do (or when they call you to confirm the transfer ) you should tell them that is for a family member or a friend,because if you tell them that the payment is for an online deal they will apply additional fees (some kind of business transfer fee around $500 ) or even refuse the transfer.
The government is always after our hard-earned money and I don`t want you or me to pay any additional taxes ! You will have to pay only the money transfer commission from Western Union which is about $100. I hope this tip will help you to save some money.
Look forward for your email,
Brian
