This all looked totally legit until it came time for me to pay for the trailer. Then I got this email which told me to pay through Western Union but said that the money would be held in an escrow account until I received the trailer and inspected it. The Western Union website had a warning that as soon as you send money, the person can get it and it's gone. There is no such thing as "the money will be held by an internet escrow service." Then I started searching the web for this company and found nothing. Hopefully the next person also searches the web and finds this scam report before they wire money. Here's the email:
