| Anonymous Carlsbad, NM, United States 2016-04-08 04:36:07 Classified Ads Scam Amazon Marketplace | +9 Selling a camper trailer through "Amazon" A camper was listed for sale on Craigslist with the contact number 801 899-7664 sorry I cannot find the original post on Craigslist. I send a text to see if the camp had been sold. The reply was that the camp trailer had sold but his neighbor had a camper that she was selling because of the death of her husband. We wanted to see it she sent pictures she said that she would sell through Amazon to protect herself. Via email she ask for our address and phone for Amazon to have shipping information we became suspicious not only for the low price of $ 2500, but she wanted payment in Amazon cards. We received an authentic looking email from Amazon. Our son in law called Amazon to verify that the account was on Amazon books It was not there. The email we received had a contact number which I had used earlier which made the email see legitimate. Some answer saying Amazon. I asked question that they answered. But it was a set up. The real Amazon had no record of the ID number that had been provided.

I cant remember the exact site I was on when I saw this ad for a suspiciously cheap 2008 winnebago. I asked them why it was so cheap and their reply was sent to my personal email. It was obviously a scam so I searched the name and I found this site.
The following is the email.
Subject 2008 Winnebago motor homeSenderFrom: Casey Jennings Received Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 4:03 PM5/31/18
Hello,
I've received your email regarding the 2008 Winnebago motor home. It is still for sale. The Length is 24. It has AC, sleeping capacity for 6, New tires, 148K original highway miles, Good brakes, Direct TV, Satellite dish, Navigation system, Surround sound stereo, Backup camera, Flat screen tv, Duct heat, Roof air, Generator, Awnings, Overhead queen bed, Sofa slideout, Dinette, Large Stand up shower, Lots of storage space, Gas and electric refrigerator, Convection microwave etc. Great gas mileage! Between 16-21 miles per gallon! This motor home looks and runs great, NON Smoker, No Pets! It is in excellent condition. I'm asking $5,000 for it not negotiable. The motor home belonged to my father who passed away this year after a long bout with cancer and brings me a lot of memories that make me suffer and this is the reason for what I want to sell it as soon as possible. I am in the Air force and we are preparing for an important mission so I hope that I would find a serious buyer in a few days. If you have any other questions, or need more info and pics, please free to ask.
Sincerely,
Lt. Casey Jennings

I've just seen your email regarding the 2000 Chinook Concourse XL. The motor home is still for sale. It has only 46,176 miles, Air Conditioning, Sleeping Capacity 3, Length (feet) 21, Water Capacity (Gallons) 31-40, Awnings 1, etc. No Leaks, No Rust Issues the Interior Looks GREAT, No Body Damage, the Exterior Looks Great! Always Serviced And Maintained Since New. The Engine starts easily and runs perfectly. The motor home belonged to my father who passed away this year after a long bout with cancer and brings me a lot of memories that make me suffer and this is the reason for what I want to sell it as soon as possible. It has a clear title, no accidents, no problems whatsoever, also I was named executor in his will so there won't be any legal problems regarding the sale of the motor home. I am asking $2,500, not negotiable. I am in the Air Force and we are preparing for an important mission so I hope that I would find a serious buyer in a few days. If you have any other questions, or need more info and pics, please free to ask.
I'm currently stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base from Knob Noster, Missouri and we are in the final stage for a new mission in Iraq. The motor home is already at the Amazon shipping co here in Knob Noster stored and ready to be delivered to the next owner along with all the documents. The delivery is included in this price as I almost closed the deal with another person but he was unable to take the loan from the bank. I've already prepared shipping for him as he was out of state. Anyway I am member of Amazon Payments since 2008 and I will make the deal only through their vehicle purchase protection program. Amazon Payments will manage the financial part to be insured both of us. Amazon Payments offer 30 days inspection period for the buyer. So you will receive the motor home in a few days and you will have the chance to inspect it for 30 days. In case you won`t be satisfied, you can cancel the transaction and ship the motor home back on my expense. I have to fill out a form on Amazon Payments and I need your full name, full shipping address, your cell # and your email address so they can register you as a potential buyer and after that they will contact you to explain the entire procedure of the transaction. You'll love the motor home, I can guarantee you that!
Thank you and stay safe,
Lt. Casey Jennings

Give me a few hours so I can determine if this is a scam or not because it is fitting the description of one and I cannot afford to be a fool today.
Thank you. If you can send me any verifying data, inside pics of vehicle perhaps, that'd be great.

It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident. Has tandem axle, loaded with many options, full size, brand new tires, bathroom, room to spare, length (feet):32, sleeping capacity 6-8, interior carper, air conditioning, generator, smoke detector, tinted viewing windows, fine kitchen, white exterior and tan interior. I have a clear title, without liens or loans on it, under my name. I am selling it at this final price of $2,500 because my husband died 1 month ago. and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p. I want to use Amazon services for the safety of both of us so if you're interested in purchasing this rv, I can notify Amazon that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

trying to sell 2004 keystone montana bigsky for 2,500 sent pictures and said needed it gone a.s.a.p and wanted to use ebay for 'the safety of both of us'. I included the email she sent and added the number we used to contact her and also cannot find the listing on craigslist now. I thought it was a scam and then found another 2004 keystone montana listed for 14,999 so looked up the number used to contact leslie and it says it was from brownsburg indiana and then looked up the email and found this.
