Hi XXXX,
I will send you the pictures in winzip format. Considering that the motor home is in Helena, Montana I thought that it would be best if we use an escrow service because it will be safer for both of us and after doing some research I have found that the eBay protection program it is the fastest and most reliable on the market. I have list the motor home on many locations so I can sell it asap. Here is how the process works:
- you give me your full name and shipping address,
- I start a transaction on eBay company,
- they send you the invoice with payment instructions,
- you send the first payment to eBay trust account – half of the price,
- they confirm me that they received and secured the funds,
- I ship the RV and provide you the delivery information ( I will pay the shipping ),
- you send the balance to eBay,
- you receive the RV, inspect it and if you decide to keep it they will release the funds to me,
- if you don’t keep the RV they will send the money back to you.
They will hold the money until the RV is delivered to you, with properly executed title. You have 10 days for the inspection period. If the RV is not like described you will have to ship it back in 30 business days on my expense, but I am sure that you will love it.
If you agree please send me your full name and shipping address in order to start the transaction!
Thank you,
Richard

This sounds too similar to the scams reported here.
I requested a face to face meeting, but I doubt he will agree.
I think I will continue shopping for a different RV.

I work in the army and I don’t have time to meet anybody ( for security reasons ). Sorry for any inconvenience. I made all the shipping arrangements, all I must to do is to confirm the delivery address. I have also another buyer interested in it, so if you like it please read my previous email and give me a final answer today. The deal can be concluded only through eBay

Sounds like more indication this is a scam.
