Gotta a call from the RV Dealer Today

I am not saying that anyone is making a scam or has made a scam out of something. What I said was it seemed like it could be a scam, or might be a scam or possibly there's something not adding up here, so yes, any normal person would start thinking, "Hey, am I getting scammed here"? Maybe I better get to looking into this.

No state or bank has notified me. And they wouldn't, because I paid my sales tax and all other fees to the county treasurer office, you know the ones where you have to register your RV and get your plate?

What I am talking about is that the RV dealer in Missouri, the actual owner called me asking me for a copy of the sales tax. No the bank, not the state. I though that sounded fishy.

Now here is why I think it could be a scam on the dealers side not the bank. The dealer did roll a portion of the sales tax into my loan. But when I went to the county where I live in Kansas to pay my sales tax, I was about $450 less than what the dealer rolled in. NO biggey, I paid it. So what I am thinking is maybe the dealer fudge the numbers to the bank, and is now trying to use the sales tax difference in some sort of scheme. Now for reality sake here. This is probably not the case. However when I bought this travel trailer I had to put a $250.00 deposit down to hold it, and was promised it would be refunded back to me if I bought the RV. Ok, still no problems. However when I went up my trailer, I was not refunded my deposit. I asked why, and they said they had no record of such transaction. Really? So I told the RV dealer owner that I had a copy because I used my credit card to put the deposit down.
Well several months goes by and I still had not received my deposit credited back to my card. So I got pissed. Told the owner of the dealership Id call the prosecuting attorney office and file a charge against them. And what ya know, bingo! I had my $250 back in less than 20 minutes and they all the sudden had found my receipt for the $250. Amazing how that works.
So my whole point here is the dealership was already shady and unethical. So when I got this call supposedly about tax stuff, and not a call from the county or bank but from the RV dealer, the RED FLAGS went up.

You are convinced it is a fraud. Good for you. Why then would you post asking for opinions? Then why would you take it a step further and berate one of the respondents because they didn't agree with your position. Not very hospitable to say the least. But hey, thanks for alerting everyone that there is an anonymous dealer in Missouri that is ripping people off by asking for documentation that is actually probably a public record in the first place, property tax data.
