Another scam alert
« on: October 23, 2011, 08:49:22 PM »
There was for a short period an add on RV sales site, a 2004 KK of the rediculous price of $14600.  I thought what the hell that is at least $8000 less than what they are going for, but I smelled a rat.  There was no contact number and just the Adelaide suburb of Modbury.

Anyay I sent off the request for some more information and below is what I got back:

Thank you for the email. As you can see in the photos this 2004 Kimberley Kampers PLATINUM is in excellent condition. For the price of $14,600.00 i offer free shipping and 5 days return policy through eBay. I have to tell you that I'm currently in Europe so pick up/view isn't an option. If you are serious and really want to buy this camper we can use eBay's Purchase Protection Program. Using eBay you will have 5 days to inspect the van while your money is safely held in eBay's account. ONLY after you confirm to eBay that you agree to keep the van, they will release the money to me. In order to start the transaction with eBay i need your complete name, the delivery address and a mobile phone number. After I receive these details I will forward them to the eBay, send my approval on this transaction and ask them to contact you.
 
Thank you,

Anyway as you can see it is absolutely a scam.  Shame as a 2004 KK for $14600 would have been awesome!  To keep looking...  Just thought I would post this here for all to see.
