    Hi again,
    As i told you, at this moment I am in WA state in a military base, getting ready for Afghanistan (I hope for the last time). I do a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want. The shipping will take 3 to 5 days depending on your location and it’s not a problem because i have considerable discount from eBay and I can do it at no cost for you. Because I'm dealing with eBay and they can ship the vehicle anywhere in the US,I listed the car in several states because it increases my chances to get it sold much faster. I want to mention that the vehicle was inspected by eBay and fulfils the CO Emission standards from all the 50 states so it wouldn't be a problem for you to register it in your state. You will receive the car along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, 2 set of keys, full service records and more. Because it is a large transaction, we will complete the deal only using an authorized third part like eBay coz I already prearranged the whole process with them, using their escrow Safe Pay Program for vehicles not listed on their website. The car is located in their warehouse in WA (ready for delivery). I've asked them to allow viewers to go there and inspect the car but their reply was: "We are not a showroom!" In this case, I will offer a 5-day period to inspect the car from the moment you receive it, before I'll have your money. I think this is more than fair for both of us.The payment will be handled by eBay Escrow, and you will benefit of 5 days inspection time period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the car on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info to eBay and they will notify you about our deal. Like this you'll be able to talk directly with them and ask all you want to know.
    Regards!!
    Jessica

    Hi Cat

    I am afraid I do not use Google - I got banned from having an account due to using gmail for a money making scam ...

    So I'm afraid it's a cash only deal for me.

    As I said before I have a friend in Dundee and I was planning on a visit next week anyway - It would be great to pick up the van and then drive back down here in it - stopping off on the way in various sea side hot spots to visit some old flames ...

    Ah the memories I have of being a young lady with an old VW camper - sadly my back is on its way out now hence the need for a T5 rather than a T2.

    If you cant make it out of the base I am sure you could park the van outside and I can leave you an envelope with the reception?

    Many thanks,

    Daniel

  8. this is my latest email to Cat ... I feel a bit like Chris Photoman

    >>>>

    Hello.

    I checked with a friend and they said that Gooogle does not offer a holding period ... ie - if i pay you - you get the money straight away.

    Maybe we should have a chat to discuss - do you have a number I can bell you up on?
     
  9. You would think that with the amount of times those standard replies have been used they would have worked on them a little bit to make them less Nigerian! :)

    Its just bits like this: The money will be sent to Google Checkout, before you will receive the vehicle

    If you start off reading it by saying 'hin ma country' its hours of fun :)

  12. my reply >>>
    Hello again.

    Still not sure - I went to have a cup of tea with my friend mr Sebti and he warned me of the dangers of buying a vehicle without seeing it first.
    For all I know it might not even have 3 wheels!

    The best number to contact me on is xxx - sussex police hq number - xxx

    lets discuss this and we can sort out the finer details.

    As I say I am happy to come and give you cash, pay by cheque or indeed by postal order.

    Thanks,

    Dan
     
  13. well after giving them the number of the sussex local police station as mine i have not heard anything else back ... as you were
     
  14. Well would you believe it, just got this -

    Hi,

    I am selling this camper because my brigade will deploy for 6 months to Afghanistan. I'm under enormous time pressure cause I need to sell it fast, before December 27th that being the reason for selling it so low. It is in perfect condition inside and out, never involved in accidents. From the beginning I must say that the vehicle has all the documents and license plates. I've never smoked in it, and I want to sell it to a serious person.

    It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad £5,400. The vehicle is in Barry Budden Camp - Dundee, Scotland, UK in a military base, and in case it gets sold I will get it delivered. Let me know if you are interested, email back.

    Thanks for your interest,

  16. ..........and this is what I sent back -

    Hi, that's great. I will be in Dundee from tomorrow (Friday) until Monday evening with a low-loader. I can come and have a look, pay cash and take it away all at the same time. If you are busy, you could park it somewhere, so I could at least see the outside - just let me know where. We could then make other arrangements for getting the cash to you.

  19. Full marks to her/him/them for tenacity, just got this -

    Hello,

    I've told you, at this moment I am in Dundee, Scotland, UK in a military base, getting ready for Afghanistan (I hope for the last time). I'm doing a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want. The delivery will take 2 to 3 days depending on your location and it’s not a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. Because it is a large transaction, we will complete the deal only using an authorized third part like Google Checkout coz I already prearranged the whole process with them, using their Google Safe Pay Solutions (bank-to-bank wire transfer) for vehicles.

    The money will be sent to Google Checkout, before you will receive the vehicle. So, you will deposit the payment directly into the Google Checkout agent's bank account in United Kingdom, either online or at most banks and they will hold and secure your money during the entire transaction. I repeat, they will hold and insure your money until receipt of the vehicle in good condition and will release the funds to us only after you decide to keep the vehicle and you register it, into your name. You will have an inspection period of 7 days. In this time you can check, test and inspect the vehicle. If by any reason (the vehicle has any hidden damages or is not like I describe it) you can reject the deal. In this case Google Checkout will refund you totally and they will deliver the vehicle back.

    Let me know your shipping details (your full name, full address and home phone number) so I can open a transaction case with Google Checkout and declare you as buyer. They will contact you with further information regarding payment and delivery.

    Regards,

    SGM. Catherine Maddock ( 86th BCT )
