And in Chicago:
2004 AIRSTREAM SAFARI 28FT

And in Indianapolis:
2004 AIRSTREAM SAFARI 28FT

Everyone, search your Craigslist listings, look for this ad, and tag it as "prohibited". I understand it takes two tags for the ad to be pulled. I have tagged the four ads mentioned in these last two posts. I know there are more. There always is.

It's too bad that craigslist is over run with scams, when im bored i report up to a hundred every day on different locations! Ebay has tightened things up so not so many running on there now, but today, feb.20 or so, I found one on there. im razdbywolves and feel free to check out my scam warnings under my reviewer tag. eBay Motors: 1987 Airstream Sovereign (item 170304670631 end time Feb-27-09 13:28:27 PST) isnt a very obvious one, and its not the newer or more desirable bambi, but if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see this 'new seller' has put a 'contact me at ' ' only or ill cancel your bid'. this is so they can send you a bunch of phishing scam crap, possibly get your ebay password info etc. also, the buy it now of $5000 on bottom is bogus, there is no actual buy it now and no reserve. I hope I win it, im the top bidder at $5100!
the smarter scammers are now turning to slightly older less desirable cars and trailers, just check out the pontiac beaumont or 80's camaro's on craigslist, its listed right across north america! just a small sample.....Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Toyota Avalon Limited 1964 Pontiac Beaumont

There are a TON of Bambis on from yesterday (2005's for $5800) and today (2006's for $4100). I use CraigsPal to search the entire country. I'm in the process right now of flagging all the ones that came up, but keep an eye out!

Nice work to others out there!!! I just went back over all the ads I had flagged, and all but a couple were already gone ("flagged for removal"). Since it takes more than 1 flag to remove an ad, it means there are others out there watching and flagging these as well. That's awesome! I just hate to think of someone, who doesn't know enough that a red flag would be raised, getting scammed on what appears to be a good deal.

Scam still on eBay- Bambi

I can't believe ebay hasn't shut this one down. its very subtle and i give the scammer lots of credit here, but if you email them for shipping costs (most would pick it up but they wont tell you that its avail for pick up) theyll send you the whole VPP ebay garbage. this is an eastern european guy who appears to be in southern california now and probably hijacked some poor Floridian's account(trailer listed in florida). ive put a bid to $65,666, and its sitting at about $15K right now, so if anyone wants to help out, bid it up just under my max bid so someone takes notice. thanks guys............kevin eBay Motors: 2002 Airstream Bambi trailer 19' camper very clean (item 120389849982 end time Mar-16-09 20:55:48 PDT)

The too good to be true Bambi is back! Here are two listings for the same trailer.
2008 Bambi Safari Special for $4,903
2008 Bambi Safari Special for $4,900
Please check your local Craigslist for the same scam, and please mark (flag) these and others as "spam/overpost". Craigslist will remove the listing once they have 2 or more "flags".
