the adria coral camper........

- so, i dropped the vendor an email, and got this reply -
____________
Hello,
The motorhome is in perfect working condition. It's in showroom condition, no scratches, no dents, accident-free ,full service history, HPI clear . The problem is that at this moment I am located in Germany for the next 2 months because I've just started a new business here with an old friend of mine. Also I must let you know that the vehicle is here with me but I will arrange to be shipped at your door without any problem.
It's a UK model,right hand drive and it still has UK registration, because I didn't paid for Germany import. You will receive the original invoice, logbook, keys and all the documents to register it into your name .
Genuine reason for sale: unfortunately a divorce is forcing me to sell it under market value.
The sale will be through a third part, WorldPay-Internet Payment Solutions, meaning that WorldPay will hold and insure your money until receipt of the vehicle in good condition. You will be given a 7 days inspection period before releasing the payment. The inspection period is starting from the day you will receive the vehicle.
Final price is 8,699.00 GBP (this price includes the shipping and insurance).
If you realy are interested please reply with your name and address so I can reserve the car for you,

Best Regards, Peter Carroll

There isn't a bargepole long enough ...

Basically you send money to some "reputable" third party and there is no camper at all.

These guys usually "clone" old ads.

Also (sadly) quite common on mobile.de and autoscout.

report it to autotrader, if it makes you feel better

If you do a search there are a few threads where people play these people. Someone had one of them travelling all over Africa for a money pickup. Just don't use any of your details if you want to play with them.

yeah, i've started to play him - they deserve it - muppetz.

i emailed him and got his address and sent the brother over to him one afternoon
the "business" address was a 6th floor appartment in a scummy part of town

brother took a picture of the guy when he opened the door and left

i emailed him back saying he was a private detective as my email address was a protected one,
