Hi there,
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 boat 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.
Regards

This sounded too good to be true and I am so thankful for this website, as I have found I am not alone. This guy uses the same story for every scam (you think he could be a little bit more creative.) Soldier leaving for Afghanistan, doesn't want blank to get old in his back yard. Using Amazon to complete the transaction. DON"T fall for it. And I agree that this man should be charged with impersonating a member of the U.S. military. Here's the ad and response email I received:

My name is David, and I'm emailing you about the 2003 Tioga Fleetwood 24D Motorhome I have for sale. The RV is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless exterior/interior condition. It has never been involved in an accident.The mileage is 61,731, it has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. The price was reduced at $5,100 as I need to sell the RV before the 12th of July when I will be leaving with my platoon back to Afghanistan, so I don't want it getting old in my backyard.
If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.
Thank you,
David

I inquired about a boat on craigslist. I got this response, but could no longer find the listing and got suspicious, so I googled the guy.

Hello,
My name is David, and I'm emailing you about the 2005 Crownline 226LS 300HP Open Bow Boat I have for sale. The boat is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless condition, no dents and no mechanical problems. It has never been in salt water. It has 300HP Mercruiser 350 MAG engine and it comes with trailer and all the extras included.

Trying to sell a Jayco travel trailer for $3000. Same story word for word with other items he's supposedly selling; clean title, no liens, no accidents, perfect, etc.
By the way, first tip off this is a scam; the US Air Force does not have platoons, we have Flights! SOB should be taken out and dropped from about 42,000 feet through the bomb bay doors of a B-2.

This person is currently listing a really nice Jayco camper on Denver Craigslist with a $3000.00 price...heading to Afghanistan...it is ready to ship via Amazon. Obviously too good to be true. The military should prosecute him for impersonating a member of the military.
