<<We are to receive a 1998 Rialta Motorhome for $8500.00>>
No you're not. You are right, it is fishy. Where exactly did you see the ad for this?
Was it on Craiglist, Kijiji, or some other site like that? It wasn't actually here on ebay, was it?
Report the listing on the site where you saw it.
It is a common scam whereby the thieves claim to offer ebay's buyer protection, making
their victims feel safe and secure to send the money.
A few years ago a fellow posted to the boards here demanding to know where his vehicle
was, as he had wired the money nearly 2 weeks earlier. He had to be told it was all a scam
and he lost his money. It was heartbreaking, the poor guy.
As the saying goes, -- never buy any vehicle if you can't kick the tires.
