Saw this ad in my local Craigs List: http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/rvs/4606795709.html
Responded and got back the same story as one I saw years ago. "Im in the service and been transferred" "The transaction will be handled through Ebay" "Will be shipped to the nearest Air Force Base and from there I will have it delivered by truck to your door free to you" (To good to be true?)
I Asked for the Vin number and got no response.
Any one else see this ad in your local CL and anyone know this coach?

SCAM. Having some knowledge of military moves and regulations, there is no legal method to have a vehicle "delivered" to any A.F. Base. And, then "free" to purchaser. If you do not move your POV, it will just rot where you left it. And, cause you bigger problems.

P.S. My wife's first new car was a bright orange Honda Z 600 Coupe. Winter in New Hampshire was a challenge. But, what a great Toad.

Identical ad posted in Boise:

Atlanta:

And several on the east cost with the same title were recently removed. Looks like a scam to me.

I pray there is a special room in the lowest level of hell for spammers and scammers. Perhaps with constant ringing telephones that they must answer only to hear: "Hello, this is Rachel from Cardholder Services...."

you would think that law enforcement could track the emails somehow if we all cooperated and kept up some type of correspondence with the scam and set up a sting. Would love to see one of these guys busted.
