Crazy...who knew?

Lesson learned. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is a scam. They sent another email this morning wanting to follow up with us, but we simply sent a message saying we were no longer interested.

Janet explained (in post #31 of Re:CAPTCHA), that some disgruntled used trailer scammers have caused some of the DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on AirForums, which is one reason why AirForums uses the CAPTCHA challenge test to screen postings.

The ad offers to let buyers inspect it. Get the address and tell them your bro-in-law deputy sheriff lives nearby and will come look at it.
Get the VIN number and run a title check on it online.
Be certain it hasn't been flooded.

That is very annoying to someone with a legitimate ad and also unethical in my opinion. When I was listing my Bambi II on Craigalist some jackass kept reporting them as scams. It was an honest ad listed for a fair price. It sold here to a member in Dallas for the asking price.

Interesting. This sure looks like it was taken in front of the doors to Colonial Airstream. One picture seems to be the trend for scammers.

You are correct NC. I asked for more pics, which I did receive. All pics were from a previous listed International from Colonial.

By the photo this one is obviously sitting on Colonial's dealership lot in Lakewood, NJ.
