Hello there,
Glad you are one of the people interested in buying my 2008 Fleetwood Jamboree 23R. I'm selling it because I'm serving in Offutt AFB, Nebraska but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 3 years period, so I don't need it anymore at this time. Let me give you a few details about it: very good shape, no mechanical issues, no scratches no dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. Has only 29,311 miles, it's equipped with 1 Slide, Bunk over Cab, Booth Dinette, 2 Door Refrigerator, Jack Knife Sofa, TV, Antenna, Roof AC, Microwave Oven, Gas Cooktop, AM/FM CD Stereo, Patio Awning, Bathroom with Shower, Vanity and Toilet, Onan 4K Generator and all in very good condition.. I have a clear title, free of any liens or loans on it, under my name.
Not interested in a trade and my final price is $6,000.
If you are interested in buying it or for any help that you might need, please feel free to reply to this email.

Thanks a lot,

As far as I can tell, the price is out of range. Could you post the complete headers of the email?

You need to definitely tread lightly with a price that low.
Make sure you get the complete email header, and check to see if the person is communicating with you from where they say they are.
There were some Russian Scammers a few years ago pretending to sell RVs online at prices far below average.
When asked if the RV could be seen in person for inspection, they would claim it was in another state, but would arrange the purchase through ebay motors so that the RV would be shipped to you on a trial basis, and only after a positive report from you would ebay release the funds to the seller, which is complete BS of course.
So do be very cautious, make sure you can actually touch and feel the RV first, and then I would still go to the DMV with the VIN, and title to make sure it is really clear.
Good luck.

There is a thread about this email address on site here : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=82723

I find it very hard to believe that anyone living in Nebraska would spell it out. Same goes for the other mentioned State. all States are abbreviated by the USPS, and everyone uses them.

Also the grammar is very poor. Not like an American serving in the AF. That is highly suspect as well. How did this email land in your inbox? through a craigslist listing or similar? If so, is the ad still up, do you have a link to it? and what other information did it contain?

someone sure thinks it is a vehicle scam. http://craigslist-scam-hunter.blogspot. ... mbers.html the email addy is listed there.

The original add the scammer copied is in Bend Oregon. The asking price is $44,990

sort of same thing. She sure has a lot of vehicles

Hi there

Because of my deployed ,I priced the vehicle for a fast sale because i have an unpaid mortgage
and I risk to loose my house also I do not want to let it ruin in the parking lot for the next 3 years.
Besides of this there are other things that have priority now like my kids and i must let it go since i am not using it anymore.
The vehicle is located in Omaha, Nebraska, however i advertised it on other states also to get more exposure and sell it faster.
The deal is handled by eBay so I don't have much to do about it.
Using eBay`s Buyer Protection Program:
• free delivery in 1-3 days.
• 5 days to try it out prior to making any purchase
• chance to send it back without any expense .
The vehicle comes with:
• all the documents - the title, owner's manual
• 2 sets of keys
• service records and of course
• the bill of sale notarized and signed by me
If you wish to proceed just send me an email with your full name, delivery address, phone number where you can be reached -for billing purposes,
I will forward it to eBay and they will send you the invoice with all of the transaction details.

Have a great day,
All the best!
