Brother browsing for motorhomes emailed seller, this is the reply
Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your interest in my 2015 ELDDIS MAJESTIC 135 motorhome / PEUGEOT BOXER 2 LITRE DIESEL, 19580 miles,AC, MOT`d until December 2020 and fully serviced, H.P.I Clear, Road Tax £250/year.Fully equipped with TV, DVD & CD player, digital aerial, grill, refrigerator, fully integrated kitchen, luxury washroom with shower, hotel quality interiors and comfy beds. Full Service History .All documents in original folders. 2 key fobs.The motorhome is in perfect condition, no accidents, no damage or scratches. HPI is clear and fully paid .Because the motorhome is comfortably under the 3.5 tonne weight limit, you can drive this on a standard Category B license (Standard car license). Last Habitational inspection in June.
I am selling it at £10,490 because I just finished the divorce and I am very glad that I took it, because it was my ex husband's most precious thing. He cheated on me although we have 2 kids together, anyway I don't want to bore you with my life's story...I don't ask too much for it because I just want to get rid of it ASAP, I want to erase a bad memory and I should get rid of it.
The motorhome is in Exeter because I live here (the ad was posted by my son).As you can see from the pictures, my motorhome is in perfect condition. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay in the context of the Coronavirus Covid-19. I prefer the payment to be done using....eBay & PayPal....services (I will receive the payment only after you receive and inspect the motorhome and only if you agree to buy it). I will pay for shipping and handling (my ex buyer did not receive his loan but he already paid for shipping costs ) so there won't be any additional shipping costs for you.
If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name, address and phone in order to register you as my buyer. I will wait for your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon.

Kind regards,
Charlotte Norris

So he followed it up saying friend will pop round and have a look
Hi Stephen,

The motorhome is already at the shipping company. All documents are on my name. The shipping is free because I am supposed to ship the motorhome to another buyer, then he told me that he doesn't have money to pay for it. He already paid the shipping charges.
I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I'm very busy with my job ( I'm a surgeon ) so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my motorhome over the Internet. According to eBay you have 3 days from the time you receive the motorhome to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it will work:
1. First of all I will need the following details from you:
-Full name, shipping address and phone no.
2. After I receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both more information about how we can complete this transaction. They will contact you regarding the shipping process and the arrival time.
4. eBay will start the shipping process and it will take up to 48 hours for you to receive the motorhome. After you receive the motorhome you will have 3 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the motorhome.
5. If you decide not to buy the motorhome, then eBay will ship the motorhome back to me (and you won't be charged for this). If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Charlotte Norris

Any eply that posts the whole advert description is a complete loads of crap

 

[mikebeaches]

Wow, that sounds like a complete load of rubbish - must be a scam.

 

[Minxy]

Did you really need to ask?

Why would anyone ever pay for a MH from someone they don't know IN FULL where they can't see it even exists ...

Also the Ebay/Paypal scam is a common one as there is NO BUYER PROTECTION WHATSOEVER when purchasing vehicles.

Found a Ford Buccaneer exactly what we wanted with a similar story!Vehicle was in Paris so suggested my wife and I would fly over to look at itOf course we got a reply that it was already with the shipping company and even sent a copy of the “shipping Company” receipt!Was invited to do a hpi check on it to prove it hadn’t been stolen etc.Then I remembered a similar vehicle was advertised in Mmm and found the advert.It was the same vehicle and the scamsters had even used all the dealers photos.I rang them,they were surprised!! The vehicle was still with them but had been sold!Wound the scamsters up for a few days suggesting that I was sending the deposit as requested etc

I replied to a similar advert a while back, he said he was an oil rig worker, and lived in Lerwick. I said that I too lived in Lerwick and I would come around with cash.......Never heard anything else from him.

Aahh! what about they were an American Marine! serving on an Oil drilling platform , in the Black sea, in the ubiquitous Wheel chair, having to sell "her" prize possession to fund her sisters treatment for an heart transplant? Her bestist buddy SHARON! in Glasgow is selling it on her behave,

Oh boy! you know I really miss those sad stories, made me wish that I was in the market for such a wonderful cheap bargain. But! alas -a-lack-a-day, I'm too busy selling shares (if any Funster is interested in investing ?) In my company "The Tasman Sea Tunnel Company" , a tunnel connecting Aus and NZ. with later on a branch connecting Antarctica .

Reply back along the following lines *I work in fraud detection and prevention and as such ask that YOU provide the bank account details, your passport and identity certified by your local Police area, which is................. before I enter into negotiation with you, be aware that if the goods or item you are offering do not exist then by answering this email you agree to pay into my account double the amount required as proof of goodwill and faith before the goods are sold and if the goods do not exist you will forfeit the said deposit*
Strangely enough after a yes we agree have never heard from them since!
