I recently was emailed regarding a motor home put up for sale on Craigs List.  Below follows the exact text of what was email to me by seller (less the Photos) . I found the whole process curious at best and Inquired with Ebay only to have my suspcions confirmed.  It is a scam.   Here's his letter..............................for your review. .........

Hello there,

My name is Ronald Barton and I am glad you are interested in my 1993
Safari Trek Diesel Mini Motor Home 28 FT listed on Craigslist.
I want to let you know all the details of the transaction from the
beginning to make everything clear.

Since I'm very busy, travelling a lot in USA with business, I have
chosen and paid the eBay program to take care of all the proceedings ,so
the car is now in their inspection team possession in New York,NY. Since
I paid all their fees, the total price is $ 7,800 (including all the
shipping costs).The transaction will be backed by their program.
Please note that the car was listed on Craigslist and not eBay! I am
just using the eBay protection program (offered by eBay only to some of
their best customers).

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: The EBay team has inspected the car and all the
papers and they are ready to ship it (or allow an inspection) ONLY to
the person that makes a down payment of 33% of the money ($ 2,600) to
them.
After eBay receives your down payment confirmation, they will keep and
secure it until you receive the car and test it for 3 days. If you
decide to keep the car, eBay will send the money to me (and you must
send the balance), if not they will send your money back. But I assure
you it won't be necessary ,as the car is in a very good condition, runs
great, has only 54k miles and clean title.

Since I want to finish this deal ASAP, I will require to the eBay team
for their fastest payment and shipping method so you can receive the car
in 3 days at the most after you make the down payment.

So, if you agree with this method, email me back with your full name and
shipping address and I will provide them to eBay ,in order to start the
process,and they will get back to you with more details.
Regards,
Ron
