Great Idea! I did hear back from "Stacy Stone" with the exact same follow up message as the first time. So I took your advice and sent this email this morning. Might as well have some fun with this.
The first part is "Stacies" reply with directions, followed by my reply to her. And FYI I used a BS email address and the phone number I used is for the Sumter County Sheriffs office. I will post more if I get them just for fun. Lets see!
From Scammer Stacy Stone
Hi again,
I decided to explain how the transaction works in a single email, so
read this email fully in order to understand the transaction. I signed a
contract with eBay Motors Company to insure a safe and smooth
transaction. The truck is in eBay Motors custody at their warehouse
ready to be shipped with all the documents in Springfield,Missouri. The
shipping will be free because my husband worked for the US army and I
have this facilities from US government. The payment will be handled by
eBay Motors and they will keep the money on hold until the end of the
testing period. You will receive the truck in 1-3 days depending of your
location and you will have the chance to inspect it for 5 days before
decided to keep it or not. The truck will be delivered directly to your
requested address as soon as eBay Motors will have the payment
confirmation from you. In case you won`t be satisfied, you can cancel
the transaction and ship the truck back on my expense. The title is
clear and along with all the paperwork will arrive in the same day with
the truck. If you want to buy the truck please send me your full name
and shipping address and eBay Motors will send you the invoice by email
as soon as possible.Total price will be 2000.

My reply to Scammer: (phone number is Sumter County Sheriffs office)
Hi Stacy,
I am very interested in purchasing the 2006 Toyota Tacoma that we spoke about. I would like to do this right away.
Please ship the vehicle to me right away. Call this number and I will give you the shipping address (352-569-1600). I dont want to list my address here.
I appreciate your kindess and feel bad about your deceased husband. So for your trouble I would like to add $200.00 for the children's Christmas presents. I will also have a nice lunch prepared for you and whoever delivers the truck. I will give you the cash when you deliver the truck and title to me securely.
Please let me know when you will arrive here as I have to have enough sandwiches prepared for the Sheriff's Deputies, the detectives from the District Attorneys offices and the Better Business Bureau folks.
They are so excited about meeting you. I have already given them all of our emails, so you may hear from them sooner.
Cant wait to meet you and see my new truck!!
Thanks
John Smith
