Other email, different person, same address in Canada. Good luck trying to persue a legal action over International borders.

Hello Bruce,

My client have accepted your price $28,500 for the vehicle after considering the condiction and our interest in the unit.
I have also finalized payment issues on the unit with my client and we are ready to go ahead with the transaction.

I spoke with an agent that work with merlin Limited, a shipping Company here in Canada concerning the shipment,the charges is $7,230, So the payment will
get to you in a payment(cashier'sCheck) of $35,730 which will also take care of shipment expenses, inspection, tax and other charges.

Due to the company's shipping policy and for record purposes, they only allow payment through wire transfer So you are required to deduct the cost of
your vehicle $28,500 when payment gets to you and send a refund of $7,230 to the agent of the merlin limited through western union wire transfer or money GRAM international the shipper agent who will be coming for
pickup close to the location of your address.

After payment has reached you, and balance sent to the agent, the agent will come and pickup the vehicle, while you send the receipt and other title papers to our client via courier.

Kindly forward to us your payment information (1)name (2) address (3) phone number for payment to be sent to you, we could send the check to you through fedex courier immediately. Make sure that the address is correct to avoid the fund entering in any wrong hand. We will give you a call but that should be when the
shippers must have started coming for the pick up for you to direct them on how they are going to reach you.

Thanks;
Jeff
