I went on a website looking at RV’s, www.rvtrader.com and noticed a 2007 RV with 27,000 miles (that’s extremely low) and I saw the price of $7,000.00 and was shocked so I emailed to see if it was real. I was strung out for a couple days with this woman who said her husband just died and she wanted to get rid of it because of the memories. I emailed back and forth with about 5 emails until she had a company send me a document PDF to send their bank to put in an escrow account, the $7,000.00 and they would bring the RV to me to try out for 5 days no cost to me and no delivery charges for them to bring it to me. If I don’t want it after the 5 days they would come get it and give me back my $7,000.00. I called their so called bank and it was a scam number I checked it out on the internet and I guess a lot of folks use that number as one to call and they don’t think folks will call and check it out. I was glad I found out before $7,000 would have just went into scammers pockets.
