Trying to sale a 2005 Jayco Jayfeather 29N.
He claims he will be leaving on 16th of July with his "platoon" back to Afghanistan and he "doesnt want the camper "getting old" in his backyard. How dare he claim fame for something he doesnt even do. He doesnt fight for our freedom. He is a lunatic.
He says "right now I am at the military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This means that I am doing a special training and I am not allowed to get out of the unit." The DEAD GIVEAWAY FOR SPAM is when they say .... "The camper is already at the shipping company in Topeka KS sealed and ready for the shipping. My presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with Amazon. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 3 days. You will have 5 days to test it and inspect it prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense.
If you are interested in knowing more info about how it works, i can ask Amazon to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. Amazon will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I am covered by them and a legitimate seller. If you would like to receive the email from Amazon with all the transaction information please reply with your full name and phone # and they will contact you right away." That is his exact email. That is the second time I have received this email while my husband and I have been trying to look for a camper. DEAD GIVEAWAY. DO NOT GIVE IN.
