A Scam.....

Here's what I've received today.....

Hello again ,

Thank you for still being interested in buying my motorhome, I will respond your inquires, but first let me explain you how
the whole process for this transaction will work:

I'm realy sorry for you but i think is to late for inspection because I'm not in the city for the moment (like you know i just finished the divorce with my husband and i have moved to my parents home in Miami /Florida for a while.)

I want to tell you that we will use eBay in this transaction in order for both of us to be 100% protected and insured by them, eBay will supervise over our transaction. They will take care of the shipping (The motorhome is already at the shipping company with all papers and documents ready to be shipped) and all the small details. You will get the motorhome and you will have 15 calendar days return-policy in which you can decide if you will buy the motorhome or not. In the inspection period you can test the vehicle, go with the vehicle at your local mechanic for inspection, but do not put more then 200 Kms on it.
After your inspection period (15 calendar days) In case you won't like the motorhome (not your case) you will notify eBay and you will send the motorhome back on my expense, if you want to keep it you will also announce eBay, you will send the funds (payment method and all the details will be set up by eBay) and you will keep the motorhome Please get back to me with your FULL NAME & FULL ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER so i can forward your details to eBay in order for you to receive your purchase invoice and if you will agree with what will find in the invoice will go from there,
eBay will contact you with an invoice and they will explain you how to start this transaction all the details and instructions for this transaction will be found in the invoice and you will see this transaction is legit. If you will disagree with the transaction proposed by eBay, you can simply refuse to continue with the transaction and would be no problem, i still have a few offer's left.
Wait your reply

PS: Don't forget to send me your FULL NAME & FULL ADDRESS if you are really interested in this motorhome
And also I will need them for further collaboration regarding the transaction and better explanation of the whole process!
Thank you for all and if you have other questions please reply to my email.

Here's my response......

Natalie,

You surely have it parked some place with friends. Can't they let us inside to look at it? As I said we much prefer to look at it in person before we send money. I'm not quite sure how you're going to use ebay for this transaction. Perhaps your friends could pull it to where I live and we could inspect it and complete our transaction here.-----Diana

Hmmmmmmmm sounds fishy!! It is a beautiful camper. It's funny how she refers to it as a motor home. Huge difference in a motor home and a travel trailer. Also you can tell by looking at the pix that it's new. No way is that camper 4900.00.

Good to know you were wary of this Diana. So many scams out there. Does ebay allow this sort of thing? I'm not sure about all that stuff. I would never EVER spend that much money (if I had that much) without seeing the item first. A person always has to be on the lookout for scams these days....such a pity.

A scam for sure, but of course you knew that already. It's a pity what some people will do!

Good move on your part Diana.

I'm still communicating with her. She's very insistant about giving her my name and address to go through ebay (I gave her a fake name and address). I'm not sure how she's going to make that work but I guess I'll find out. She's not getting any money from me but this could get interesting!!! I'm going to play along!!!

I'm curious to see what she tries to pull next.
