Messing w/ a scammer

The newspaper has a picture ad for a 68 396 Camaro RS for $4,700.

I email the seller for more pics and this is her response (the same one she gave a friend of mine 2 weeks ago):

Hello,

Sorry for mailing you so late!

I'm glad that you're interested in my '68 Camaro RS. The car is street legal and accurate. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a clear title and it can be registred into your name at any time. I am willing to sell it for $4700.This buy now price does include the shipping and insurance fees. I'm located in La Grande, OR and the car is here as well and so this is where the car will be shipped from. I've done some research and the best and fastest way I can ship it is using Hemisphere cargo Shipping Ltd which takes between 4 to 6 days to arrive at your door (door to door handling and shipping insurance fee included). I am affiliated with Yahoo! Finance where I have a purchase protection account for $ 10,000.00. This service allows us to complete this transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts as a third party between seller and buyer to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements and provides dispute resolution and mediation between parties. Yahoo! Finance is responsible to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements. If this is ok with you please reply with your complete name, address and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and move forward with this deal.

Thank you,

Pamela Hunter

Her voicemail is full on the number listed. I'm going to string her along.

Her email address is chevypamela@gmail.com, so feel free to inquire too.
