A scammer using the email Kevcofman@gmail.com is posting fake RV/camper ads on craigslist.
One of their CL ads has a pic of a Springdale camper with a price of $1900.  The text in the ad is cut-and-paste gibberish: "Attractive automobile. Place stainless tires on,appears like a bentley.Don't such as rigid ride or streets racket. The interior is exceptional. You can explain to that this is simply not a regular Us citizen automobile, because it does not take a look affordable, with buttons and deals with in inconvenient destinations."  (Huh?)

These vehicle scammers will usually claim that a "shipper" or "mover" will drive the RV/camper to you, if you send payment first - and they will only accept payment through Amazon Pay, ApplePay/iTunes cards, wire transfer (Western Union, Moneygram) reloadable card (Vanilla, Green Dot/Moneypak) - untraceable payment methods which are like sending cash and cannot be reversed.
They can only be contacted by email or text.  Usually they will claim to be overseas in the military or on an oil rig (coming up with any excuse to avoid meeting you), or will tell you a sob story about the RV's owner having just died.  The price they quote is far lower than its book value ($2000-4000 for an RV that usually sells at over $20,000+).
The scam craigslist ad will usually have one or more of the following features:
A lot of white space below the text;
Superfluous text at the bottom having nothing to do with the ad (probably copy/pasted from a random Wikipedia article); random words/letters/characters added to the subject line;
An email address (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook or other free email) or phone number (not a number of an established dealer) on the photo of the RV/camper.

Never send money for any vehicle (RV, car, truck, motorcycle, boat) without inspecting it in person! If the seller cannot meet you in person, he may well be a scammer.

    More quotes from their CL ads, equally nonsensical and hilarious:

    Quote:
    I really like the his and hers clothing with all the dense matress. The enjoyment heart along with the HDTV carries a specific photo.
    We looked for more than a 12 months to finish up selecting the Alpine and are very pleased!
    I actually have the 2015 Large Heavens. Bought it new. It's an amazing Motorhome. It supplements excellent and is a satisfaction to utilize.
    [Note: the fake ad was for a trailer, not a motorhome.]

    I adore the camper, however, you would think for which this thing price, the high quality would be some far better.
    Because of my mother's hospice attention, we were only able to reside in the camper for a extremely, really brief whilst instead of travelling full time while we possessed planned.

    My only criticism is because they don't build them and so the above cooker fan vents exterior - that is ridiculous.
    With that in mind, we traveled the american Usa last year while my spouse continuing to work from your home.

    We loved the upgraded leather material furnishings we bought! The 5th tire was included with a 50" Guided Television from the family room which produced our free time fantastic when we had been within!

      The scammers are probably running random text, copied from legit ads, through a program that substitutes words with their synonyms, to differentiate the ads and evade craigslist's spam filters.  "2015 Large Heavens" was, very likely, "2015 Big Sky" originally.
