OK, so does anyone have time/interest this holiday week to torment a scammer?
I was browsing through Facebook Marketplace yesterday and I came across a nice looking, 2008 Motorhome. It was listed for $2,000! Some kind of sob story about husband dying and wants to remove this reminder from her life, yada yada.
I figured it was a scam, but I thought I'd respond and see what is going on. 'She' responds with some detailed, but generic information - not answering my main question - 'where is it'?
So I replied and here is the response:
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm working most of the time and I choose to hire eBay to take care of the whole selling process, so my presence isn't necessary. The vehicle is already at eBay in Bellevue, NE along with all the paperwork and the transaction will be done through them. eBay will handle the shipping, the payment, and the paper exchange. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address within 2-3 business days with all the necessary documents for registration. In addition, you will get a 5 days inspection period before making any purchase, and if you find something wrong with the vehicle, you can just return it on my expense. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. SO...ONLY AFTER you receive the vehicle and agree to keep it, eBay will release the payment to me, in this way we are both protected and you can physically see the vehicle before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns.
If you want to buy it please reply with your full name, address for delivery and phone # and they will contact you right away. .
PS: I attach you all the pics of the vehicle
I'm going to keep trying to string 'her' along to see how far it goes. But I thought it would be great if other interested buyers contacted 'her' as well.
If you are interested in tormenting this scammer in some way, the email address is: bettyhearn62@gmail.com
Also, I've attached a photo of the $2,000 motorhome. Seems well worth the money
