I already have the shipping paid and I am able to ship the trailer anywhere in US. The transaction will be made thru eBay for our safety and so we can be sure of the legitimacy of our deal...to do that i need your full name and full shipping address and ebay will contact you shortly with all the information you need.

Stephen I need to talk to you I have requested your phone # and I’m awaiting it, I need to talk to you and at which time I will give you another email address, I need to talk to you before making the payment.

i would prefer to call you when i must give you the shipping details. i have had a bad experience about a week ago with a person that pretended to be a real buyer and now is calling me day and night . I hope you can understand me , I will only call a real buyer.

Stephen Dodita is who he claims he is and is trying to sell a $30,000 vending trailer for $4600. Craigslist ad in Richmond Virginia under business opportunities is how I stumbled into this criminal. Big red flag when advertising at such a distance and then refers me to Ebay. I have figured out he is a scam though continuing a correspondence via email to entertain myself. He is directing me to use ebay to send the money and has failed to provide phone or credentials of any kind. He needs to be castrated and force fed his own genitals. He refuses to provide a phone though I found this venue searching for the name he uses "stephen dodita".

yeah, he just about got me today too. same info - little red wagon for sale for $4600. I even searched the web and found several pages referencing "Guy's Diner" which made it even more credible. It would have worked except that the Ebay invoice was sent from a gmail address. That's when I realized I'd been had.
