Classified Ads Scam
Craigslist (craiglist.com) |  +3 2003 Rockwood 232 ROO Inexpensive RV for sale on Craigslist. Contacted seller who explained it was part of a divorce settlement and she just wants to get rid of it right away. She sent us pix and then told us that it was with her in Orlando, FL, where sher moved after the divorce, but she would pay for the shipping. She was handling everything with Google Wallet so once we agreed to buy it they would ship it. We would then have 5 days to verify we wanted it at which time Google Wallet would transfer the money to her account. If it wasn\'t what we wanted she would have to pay for it to be shipped back, we would be refunded our money and we would be out nothing. When we got the final email stating the money had to be sent through MoneyGram to Google Wallet and the payee was someone named Jeremy Mccauley at Wallet it got me scatching my head. I did some internet research and found that this is a common scam right now. I also called the phone number which was answered by someone that spoke limited English and told them I was going to record our conversation, at which time they hung up. Immediately after that it was listed back on Craigslist. |

This scam is still up and running
Hi,
My name is Susan, happy to see you are interested in my 2005 Forest River Rockwood Roo M19. Let me give you a few details about it. Really good shape, never had any problems with it, no need to invest money in it, flawless exterior/interior condition, has never been lived in, always maintained no leaks very solid non smoker very clean, has everything a big rig has but in a smaller package. Kitchen, fridge, toilet, shower, sleeping 6, generator, heat and A/C, it has 21 feet and much more. The title is legally under my name, clear and free of any liens or loans.The price was reduced at $2,194. Because of my divorce settlement, i own this camper and as a woman i don`t need it so i`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible (that`s why i`m selling it so cheap). I also got a new job and moved to another city for a new start.
If you have any other questions, or need more info and photos, please feel free to ask.
Hi there,
Here are the pictures with the camper http://imgur.com/a/JBJC9 . As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. I got a new job and moved to Canton, OH for a new start. The trailer is already at the shipping company in Ohio sealed and ready for the shipping. My presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with eBay. The shipping is free because I was supposed to ship the camper to another buyer, then he told me that he doesn't have money to pay for it. He already paid the shipping charges. The payment will be handled by eBay and they will keep the money on hold until the end of the testing period and after they will have your approval that you are satisfied with the trailer and you want to keep it, eBay will release the money to me so we can finish the sale. You will have 5 days to try out 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 eBay to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. eBay 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 eBay will all the transaction information please reply with your full name, shipping address and phone # and they will contact you right away.
Regards
Susan

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
