A text message came in prior to the email asking about my trailer for sale. Below is the email he sent.

Thanks for the response, I would have loved to call but due to the recent bad weather our SATphone is currently scrambled .Please i am buying this for my for my father, and i want it to be delivered before my arrival in WY, I work with SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF and we are presently offshore in US Taranaki Basin on kapo project. We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 15days off and 15days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don\'t mind my asking.I am already in
talks with the courier that will handle the pick-up and delivery it in Wyoming.

I want to be sure of its condition , preferably if i can get more close up picture (inside) ,Please i will not be able to come for inspection now all i really need from you is the exact details of it.Due to the nature of my work i am a very busy man working all day.i will pay with the fastest and safest online payment \"PayPal\" so i will need you to send me your paypal email address so i can effect the payment,as i have my bank a/c attached to my paypal account. will be sending my shipping company to come and pick it up and make a personal delivery for my father in WY after have sorted out with the payment.

As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit,using ppal instant bank wire transfer service, I will need your bank details.If you are not comfortable with that, you can set up a paypal account proper at www.paypal.com and I will make the payment through paypal, this way, all I will need is your paypal email address.

Cheers!!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
