DING, DING, DING!
We have a winner!
It IS a typical FAKE, BOGUS SCAMMER AD.
Most are very easy to spot with typically dirt cheap prices and often littered with very bad grammar.
These are targeted at folks who are often hunting for those unbelievable "deals".
Oh, they WILL take your money, that is for sure.
IF you respond to the ad, they will give you some hokey excuse like someone died, they have been sent overseas, got in a divorce and don't want or any other lame excuse that you cannot physically go and look at the item.
They also use payment schemes like insisting on gift cards (Walmart green cards ect), Western Union wire, Bitcoin or any other non reversible/ non traceable means of paying..
These are warning signs to back out and pass on the deal.
Also often will insist they "ship it to you" and have shippers ready to do that..
Ultimately if they do not get your money they are OK if all they get LEGIT CONTACT information on you.
The more information they get the better they can SELL or USE to create more scammer ads, setup fake accounts under YOUR name and info.
Your info is a huge money making machine so best approach is if the deal looks to good, it most likely IS a scam and do not contact them.
Folks do fall for these scams and that doesn't say much for our society now days.. - K-9_HANDLERExplorerProbably a Scam
U may see it posted in several different cities. - dodge_guyExplorer IIIts like the scammers just stopped trying! I`m still checking out all the beautiful 5 year old DP`s going for $30k! I want to look at them but they are all stored away from the owner, it makes it had to look.
- BarabooBobExplorer IIII shop Craigslist almost every day and end up flagging at least 4 or 5 very cheap RV's every week. I bet that almost every city has the same problem.

- colliehaulerExplorer IIIAny doubts about a add ask to look at the trailer in person. Scamers will not meet with you at the trailer. They usually don't give a phone number as well.
Scamers do this because people are gullible and they make money. - SidecarFlipExplorer IIIFlea Bay has a load as well. Not as many as CL though. My motto is, if it sounds too good to be true... It usually isn't.
