Hi again ,

Right now I’m in a military base (Omaha,Nebraska). We are training, getting ready for leaving the country. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the Marketplace buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask Marketplace to send you the details on this deal. If interested just email with your legal name (your right full name ’cause it will appear on the papers), full postal address where you want the truck delivered and your cell phone # where you can be reached so we can get the ball rolling.

I paid $2500 at first then was asked for another $1000 for for transportation insurance.

It was Supposed to be delivered Sunday August 26 at 4:30.

Now not responding emails and the phone number where I been calling just sounds busy!!

Hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else it sucks..??
