Some people just suck. So, this is the newest scam I encountered. I search Craigstlist in Maine every night, just to make sure I don't miss anything. I happened upon a post that was very brief and too good to be true. So I decided to check into it, just for S&G. My initial thoughts upon seeing the ad were a) typo in price, b) divorced and needs money quick, c) scam. I don't recall the complete content of the ad, but it was minimal, and asked to text for more info. So I texted the number given asking for year, make, model, and more photos. I received a reply (from a different number) saying "I'm sorry my camper is no longer available, but a friend of mine has a nice 2010 Keystone Premiere at $2500. If interested, email her at barco1977us@gmail.com
Now I realized this is clearly a scam. So I decided to go along. I emailed this "friend", and below is the email conversation:

Hello again ,
Right now I'm in a military base ( Malmstrom AFB , MT ) and i have the CAMPER here with me. We are training, getting ready for Afghanistan. I am only allowed to check my email twice a day. We have to stick to e-mail for now. Hope you can understand. Like I already said, the delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days. I am a member of the Amazon buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing/inspecting period after delivery. During that 5 days inspecting period I will not be getting any money.If you decide when you receive the vehicle that for any reason you don't want to keep it then you will send it back on my expense. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask Amazon to send you the details on this deal.You will also find in the invoice from them the Amazon Support Department phone number where you can call for more details ! If interested please include in your next email your contact info for Amazon (full name, shipping address and phone number), so we can get the ball rolling.
I also made a photo album,so you can view more pictures:
