Everyone beware this is the email I got back after requesting pictures of the Winnebago on Craigslist Cincinnati.
Hi again,
The motorhome is already at the delivery company in Bismarck,North Dakota ready for delivery. I have setup this sale with Amazon so this deal must go through them. Unfortunately I'm not near you and my daughter is in hospital so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my RV on internet.
In order to complete this deal the payment must be sent a deposit of $1,950 to Amazon. As soon as they receive the payment will notify me to start with delivery. The remaining balane ($1,950) will be sent after you receive and test the RV. The delivery cost is included in the price.
Amazon will not release the payment to me until you receive and inspect the motorhome (you have 10 days for inspection). If the camper is not in same condition as I said you will ship it back on my expense and Amazon will send you a full refund. But I assure you won't be the case. Now, if you are serious about this and want to move forward, just mail me back with:
- Your Full Name - Required by Amazon (You'll receive important guidelines + payment instructions from them.)
- Your Delivery Address and Phone Number
As soon as I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to Amazon and declare you as the buyer. They will contact you with further information regarding payment and delivery.
Thanks, hope to do business with you soon!
PS:The motorhome comes with all the documents (title, bill of sale, full service records, etc...)

> Hi there,
> As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I got a new job and moved to Topeka KS for a new start. The rv is already at the shipping company in Topeka 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 will all the transaction information please reply with your full name and phone # and they will contact you right away.

> Hi,
> I am glad to see that you are interested to buy my Itasca Spirit that I have for sale. I have a clear title in hand, no liens or loans. It is in great working condition, turn-key ready for the road, never involved in any accidents, 56,000 miles, an 3.0L 6 cyl engine and automatic transmission. The price was reduced at $3,500. I own this rv due to my recent divorce settlement and as a woman I don't need it and I really want to get rid of it fast.
