Used that line "FOR MORE DETAILS CONTACT ME AT :[email protected] PLEASE DON`T USE autotrader INQUIRE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE OPTION BECAUSE YOUR EMAIL WILL BE SENT TO MY OFFICE AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER, I AM ON VACATION.
I thought it sounded legit…. til I got an email in reply to my request for more info.. grammar not bad but one or 2 words off.. could have been spelling oops….. but the seller says they are selling their late father’s motorhome and I would need to go through ITC…Improveza Trading Corporation… and they provide a link to this company.
http://www.improveza.itc-vehicles.com/ (looks a lot like the address in SCAM alert above)
I am internet suspicious. I Google Improveza Trading Corporation . Nothing. Now THAT’S weird cause Google has everything. So I type in the address from the email (instead of clicking link) Very professional looking web page. But their one mistake is having the ScamPulse.com logos on their page. So I look them up. They are not on the BBB. But when I search scam ON ScamPulse.com’s site the SCAM ALERT proved true.
I also went on Google maps to LOOK at Fermont Quebec the alleged location of this motorhome. There isn’t a building big enough in the village to warehouse a motorhome. There is no company by Improveza Trading Corporation name listed in white pages.
SO……… be wary my friends…… pissed me off too cause it was a nice RV.
