(notice how he plays the intended victims)
Let me know if you received the invoice from Google. Please check your bulk or your spam folder too
Please let me know if you can make the payment today or tomorrow because I have another interested buyer and I want to finish the deal this week!
I forget to tell you when you will go to the Western Union office if the agent from Western Union will ask you where you send the money you must tell that you send the money to a friend or a relative because if you will tell that you send the money for an online purchase the Western Union will extra charged both of us with 10% from the entire amount which means around 600$! I am not willing to spend some useless money!
Also you have to pay a normal transfer fee at Western Union which is around $140!
I'm waiting your email after you will made the payment!
PS: I HAVE ATTACHED COPY OF MY ID !!! (see above)
At the moment I'm stationed in a U.S. air force base in Cambridgeshire, England, making final preparations before deploying to Afghanistan with the U.S. Convoy.
The truck is already at our Military Logistic Department from Fort Wayne,U.S. Air Force base in IN, sealed and ready to go. The Logistic Department will deliver the truck to your home. Since the truck is in an air force base, and you can't go there to take it, only the Logistics Department can deliver it, because it's in their custody. Shipping may take anywhere between 1-3 business days depending on the destination.
All documents you need for ownership, service book, manuals and bill of sale,the title, will be provided along with the vehicle.
For the payment I would like to use Google as a third party. They will keep your money into a protection account until you get the vehicle and will release it to me after inspection period is over and you agree to keep the truck. So, this is not a blind transaction, you can see the truck before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns you will have 2 days to inspect it. If you decide not to keep it Google will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for both of us.
I'll start the official procedure, and Google will contact you about this!!!
Again, I want to point out that because I am going to Afghanistan this sale is my top priority and I am looking after a fast transaction, with no delays. That is why I decided to lower the price, to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.
Regards

This mean that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls for the next 2 weeks.The truck is already at our Military Logistic Department sealed and ready for the shipping. The shipping can`t be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the truck along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more .Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorized third party like Google Checkout.In this way both of us will be 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.The payment will be handling by Google Checkout and you will benefit of 2 days inspection period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the truck on my expense.

Subject: Re: truck for sale
Hi (me) and sorry for the late reply
I'm emailing you regarding the blue 2003 Chevy S-10 ZR2 pickup truck (4.3L V6 gas engine, 4x4 automatic) that I have for sale.
I'm a PFC in the US Army and bought the truck while I was serving at the US Army Reserve Center in Orlando, FL.
Truck is in very good condition as you can see from the pics. Miles are a little over 87k (87,176) and has never been smoked in! It is accident free with clear title in hand and I'm the 2nd owner. Has never been abused and is in great shape. It has automatic hubs and the 4X4 works flawlessly. Truck has been maintained regularly and does not leak any fluids, miss or smoke.
I have never had any problems with the truck at all, its always kept clean and oil has been changed every 3500 miles.
For more details/pics of the truck please follow the web-link below:
WWW(dot)2003-CHEVY-S10(dot)PAGE(dot)TL just replace (dot) with . when pasting it into your browser
Price was reduced to $2,950.00 (not negotiable!) as I need to sell the truck before leaving with my platoon for Afghanistan. If you want to buy it please make sure that you have cash available, NO trades!!
Please note that I want to be assured of both serious intentions to buy and availability of funds prior to securing the sale, therefore the whole deal will be handled through google checkout which will act as a power of attorney. This way both buyer and seller will be 100% covered during all the steps of this transaction.
If you are seriously interested in this purchase please reply at your earliest convenience.
