I've just been browsing the for sale ads on this website and noticed 5 adverts all placed on the 26th for very cheap caravans eg Knaus 550 Starclass 2007/8 for £2200!?? There are also a couple of Elddis, a swift and a avondale for sale all in london all very cheap for the years. The person(s) selling only registered that day.  Sounds a bit suspect to me BEWARE.

Seems they dont know what their name is, Several different names all with the same phone numbers.

Nigeria has come to the forum... Why do they not know the difference between a forename & surname?

David Mark, Smith Johnson, Parker?, Parker Nelson..

Were they getting bored with thinking of names?

This sort of thing really annoys me.  These people give genuine sellers a bad name.

Our van is for sale on this website and I'd hate to think anyone was suspicious.

Just incase anyone's interested it is a Lunar Zenith 5 and comes with loads of extras including a gas barbecue and a new generator.  .

if you check out the mobile number theres only 9/10 digits all mobiles have 11 so you'd have to email them so i'd keep well clear & go to a dealer to buy a van

You know when it's a scam when they want money without you being able to see the caravan, I would have thought nobody would be daft enough to fall for that.

Either that or its a gang who advertise & wait for the buyers to turn up with the cash and rob them.

I saw this one on the TV but it was cars being sold.

Do not take cash.

I saw several of these adverts on UKCS a while ago when I was looking to buy a caravan. I e-mailed several sellers, and never heard a word back.

I've also seen them on C4Caravans, and one of the sellers did e-mail back, advising me he was out of the country, to transfer money, he would arrange shipping etc etc.  Unbelievable.

The Knaus Starclass was also advertised on Caravan Selecta for £2,700!!!!!  Either a scam or they missed a "one" off the beginning of the figure!!  I think it has been removed now, someone must have reported it as a Nigerian fiddle.

Google Knaus Starclass and there is one for sale on Vivastreet for £2,700.   Someone must fall for it or they just wouldn't bother.
