The call came in at 5:41 a.m. to our business.  I don't answer the phone before 8 a.m. so I Googled it and it appears to be linked to several scams.

oops it smelled like a scam

I just got a message from j malone on a 1993 georgie boy motor home and I smelled like a scam and as I dug further I now believe it is. they told me they would deliver the motorhome I could keep it for 5 days to check it out and ebays vpp protection would keep my money until I agreed on the purchase. Buy the way they told me it is in the state of Kansas. they are in a gulf of mexico state.  (NOT)

This is the latest message from  j.malone1930@comcast.net. they are calling themselves Jessica still and saying that the are in the Guldf of Mexico. They found me with craigslist in Wichita, KS
Hello Teyanna,

Thank you for your interest in buying our RV. The total price for it is $2,700. I wanted to keep the RV but me and my husband left the city for a better job in Gulf of Mexico, so we decided to sell it. The RV is in showroom condition, no mechanical problems, never involved in any type of accident and the mileage is 30,921.It has a clear title and it will come with a new set of tires.We will use eBay Vehicle Purchase protection to secure this transaction.So if you are interested please email me back so I can explain you how the transaction will work.

Here is a link with the pictures:

Below you can find more info about the RV:

Inside are many more features designed to make you feel right at home. The cockpit features a removable table that fits over the "doghouse" engine cover to provide a perfect place to storage extra items like drinks, snacks, etc. plus it's easily removable when you don't need it. The dinette table has a removable leaf and 2 extra chairs that can be folded up and stored away when you don't need them while still providing sit-down space for four people. A Cobra CB radio lets you keep in touch with your fellow travelers and learn colorful new phrases from the truckers. The bathroom is full self-contained and features a shower with a tub.

The RV is in great shape,never been involved in any accidents and no problems with the engine.It has a clear title and the mileage is 30,921.
The last price is $2,700.We will be using eBay to secure this transaction.Below you can find a link that will show you the pics.

Here is my reply:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, It saddens me to hear of your loss, I know god will keep her safe for you .Yes we are very interested and can buy it out right. please call me at xxxxxxxxxx (verizon cell phone) to arrange a time and place to look at it tomorrow.

No calls as of yet but Im prepaired for them I think Ill wasie their time for awhile!

Its ovious that they are trying to scam anyone or everyone. It must be working for them because they continue to do it. Its hard to say how many people they have ripped off already.  does any one know how to find out who they really are? They should be in prision by now.

LOL!  Man, they sure are selling a lot of stuff...   I think I will play a little gotcha with them and see how long I can keep them on the hook.

Received an email response about a boat that was listed on Craig's List in the Jacksonville, Florida area.  Talked on the phone to a Mike Graham, or whatever his name is. (Not an American, real heavy accent) He said to talk with his wife Melissa about arrangements for purchasing a 2003 NItro Bass Boat for $2,600.00.  Started checking when they said the boat was in Omaha, NE.  ready to be shipped upon payment from eBay. Looked up number and found the number was used in several scams on the internet.

Here are the emails they sent:

Hi again,
The boat is at the shipping company in Omaha NE sealed and ready for shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. According with eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the boat to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. Here is how it will work:
First of all,I will need the following details from you: full name, full shipping address. After I have received these details from you, I will forward them to eBay. After they will process your info, they will send both of us invoices. On the invoice you will find all the instructions on how to complete this transaction. eBay will contact me and I will ship the boat to you. After you receive the boat you will have 5 days to test it, verify it and do whatever you want with it. If you are going buy it, then I will receive the payment details from eBay so that I can pick up the money.
If you decide that you won't buy the boat, eBay will refund the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my boat,all shipping fees will be paid by me. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you,


Hi Charles,

I found the pictures from the trailer when it sold for real in New mexico for 16k

Somebody called me from the same number, but they said their name was Melissa, and trying to sell me a 2007 CBR1000RR for $2600....sounds like a scam to me.

Two scammers contacted me, they were selling a KTM Super Moto 950. They had an Iraq's tale, and two phone numbers. Their cover names are Amanda and Frank Kruger.

I talked to "Frank" on the 785-783-5474, but his wife just called me from 402-881-8961

"My name is Amanda, I am emailing you regarding the '07 KTM 950SM that I have for sale.
The bike is in pristine condition, never got any repairs and it has never been involved in any type of accident. Also, tires are 90% good ,the title is clear and free of any liens or loans ,it has only 3,830 miles and the price is only $2,300, which includes the bike and all the gear(2 full safety equipments and 2 helmets)!
I'm selling my son's bike, who died in Iraq four months ago and I want to sell it asap because the sight of it hurts too much. Put yourself in my shoes and you'll do the same...
The payment will be made through eBay protection program and only after you will receive the bike, I will receive the payment.Below you can find a link with some pictures.
I will wait your email(if you are interested in buying it) very soon,also you can call my husband Frank at : 785-783-5474.
