The email I received:
Hello there,
Thank you for contacting me about my 2016 Starcraft 15RB AR-One Camper with leveling jacks included and 21-30 gallons of water capacity, sleeps 5. The camper is in great shape & immaculate condition and I’m the original owner. It has no damage,or hidden defects. I have a clear title, under my name.The price is firm, $1,500. This camper is in great shape and everything functions as it should. We have used it a dozen times and have had no issues with it. I’m selling it because my husband died 1 month ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories so that’s the reason I want to sell it asap. My daughter and I decided to sell the house and so we moved with my parents in Lawrence, KS trying to start a new life. I want to use Amazon's Service for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing the camper just email me with your full name, P.o. Box or address including the zip code and phone number, so I can notify Amazon that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
Thank you,
Mary G. Barnett

I saw the posting for a 2006 jeep wrangler on facebook market place from new york new york under Rodger Lawrence for $2,000 when KBB lists it worth 10,000, messaged him for details and he messaged back saying to email his mom since its her car. I emailed the mom and messaged him back. The post was taken down and after i added him on messenger he blocked me and i can no longer see his account he was from FL. The mom emailed me back with 13 images of the car but they had a Maryland plate and said the same amazon service and all the same things that others were getting. I have the email included below so hopefully no one gets scammed by these same people. It all seemed weird and thank god for this website because i was almost scammed.
