Sara Smith has been very busy lately on this website (and many others). They aren't hard to find. So I thought I'd "play through for fun". I was not disappointed. See below.
The first email is actually at the bottom of this thread, where I asked about her(his) trailer.
Mr Dave,
I already have a contract with Google Checkout and for this reason I have to close the transaction through them. I want to take this opportunity to assure you that there is nothing to be worried about this deal. I would never cheat you or swindle you!! I have a reputation to protect and a good Christian and I do not want to be imprisoned. You have my word and good faith on the fact that I'll keep my end of the bargain. I have never lied and cheated anyone and I would rather close this deal with other person than to know that you'll be very stressed hoping that I am a honest person, until you receive the trailer.
You have to make the payment to Google Checkout. After they check the payment they announce me to start the shipping. After you will receive the trailer and see that is ok, you have to announce them that you have it. Only then, Google Checkout will send me the money. I will not receive any money before you will receive the trailer. Google Checkout must protect the seller, too.
You will sign for the trailer at delivery and you will take over the ownership . You will also get support from the shipping company at delivery. The trailer has all the papers in order so there is no problem with the registration.
If the trailer is not suitable for you from any reason, your money will be fully refundable and I will take the trailer back on my cost. I'm sure it won't be the case because it's a state of art looking and working machine. Anyway, you will have 5 days from the time you receive the trailer to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
To proceed with the transaction I need your data. With your full name and address I will register our deal at Google Checkout and you will receive a confirmation of my seller status from them to see that I'm not playing around here and all necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.) All I need now is your full name and address so I can put the things in move... Waiting for your reply.
PS: I attached you the title to see that everything is in order with the transaction.

Well you didn't have to be so rude. As a matter of fact, I am blind. From birth. Horses are my life. They see for me when I'm on them and I trust them. Without them I couldn't even type this.
Sara, I appreciate your safe arrangements to protect me but I trust you. I love the trailer and I think we should save the Google fees and allow me to wire you the full amount directly to your bank account. Please forward me your Bank name and account and I'll make that transfer today. You can ship it to the same address I'll be giving to your bank when it is confirmed.
Blessings to you. I'm so excited. I see from the pictures the trailer also has the optional water fountains for the horses. Did you install those or were they part of the factory build?
Dave

Are you blind? I told you that the trailer has a shoe box in the back and winter skids

Hello again Dave,
First of all I have to tell you that I can't use the phone due the casino policy. Here on the cruise ship, the dealers have prohibited to use the phone. The trailer is already at the shipping company in Jackson, MS ready for the shipping. The shipping process will take between 4-6 days, depending on your location. I have a contract with Google Checkout so this deal must go through them.
As I said in the first email I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship and I can't meet you or bring you the trailer, so that's why I am using a shipping company.
Since this is an online transaction I wanted the both of us to be safe so for this deal I am using Google Checkout , and that means that you have 5 days from the time you receive the trailer to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it works:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to Google Checkout.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices.Your will make the payment to Google Checkout and the funds will be 100% insured by Google Checkout.
4. Google Checkout will contact me and I will ship the trailer to you. After you receive the trailer you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the trailer.If you will buy it, then I will receive the payment from Google Checkout. Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the trailer and make sure everything is as agreed.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy it, Google Checkout will refund you and I will have the shipping company come pick up my trailer.
If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed.

Hello there,
The trailer is still for sale and is in excellent condition as you can see from the pictures, looks brand new, like never had a horse in it, no dents, dings, scrapes or scuffs very nice trailer, tires look new, you will love this trailer...
If you are interested in buying it, the price is $2,900 and this is with shipping costs to your location included. I sell the trailer at this price because I cannot enjoy it due to my job(I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship) and I'm a single woman and I have nobody close who can use it. This trailer was used by my ex husband who died two years ago.
All documents, including owner's manual, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the trailer.
Also about payment and shipping I will use only Google Checkout so we can both be protected. I am looking forward to hear from you.

You see pretty well for a blind guy! I actually contacted her on the first ad, thinking she had inadvertently dropped a zero (happens a lot) on her price. When she came back with all her scam stuff I just sent back, Oh, I see-you are a scammer. And got back a nasty note about how hateful and crazy I was. Guess I hurt her feelings.
