This is what they reply with when u enquire
Hi dear,
Well, let me just jump right into it. I just got divorced and the caravan was awarded to me in our divorce. I have a low price ($9900) because I want to sell it in the next 10 days.
I have a deployment coming up and would prefer to have my mother who is taking care of my children have the cash instead.
Now, a few words about this 2015 Lotus Freelander 20’6. It comes with registration and a full RWC and 6 months rego in perfect working condition, with nothing mechanically wrong - like new!
- Dometic 3 way fridge
- Brand new sphere 2.5kg washer
- Grill + oven
- Leather cafe dinette with foot rests
- Fusion radio (internal & external speakers)
- External TV
- 24” TV & DVD player
- 2 x 95L water tanks
- Outdoor shower
- DO35 hitch
- Side, front (over tool box) & back lights
- Stabiliser legs
- 2 x brand new 120ah AGM batteries
- Diesel heater
The caravan registration is paid until 21 July 2021. I can assure you, this caravan will not disappoint. If you decide to buy it, you'll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys, a buy-sell contract already signed by me.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm in the Air Force with my medical team and right now I am on a military base. We are training, getting ready for leaving the country.
Before leaving I had prearranged the deal with eBay. I chose to hire them to take care of the whole selling process.
I'm involved in a special program here getting ready for deployment. I can't leave the base whenever I want to handle my personal business. This is why I choose an online service to handle the sale for me, therefore my presence isn't necessary...
The delivery process will be managed and covered by me. All the caravan documents including the title and a bill of sale signed by me will be provided along with the caravan so you can easily register the vehicle in your name.
I think I can have it there at your home address within 2-3 working days. You will have 5 days to test and inspect the vehicle prior to making any purchase.
If you find something wrong you can ship the caravan back at my expense but that will not be the case as the trailer is in perfect condition and you will love the caravan from the first second you see it.
My Lotus is in Redlynch, QLD,42 Eugenia Crescent
If you're interested in purchasing it just text me your: Full name, Full shipping address, and phone # so that I can initiate the deal through eBay and they will contact you to explain the procedure, (terms, buyer protection, payment instructions, invoice, etc.)... Well wishes!
Then received the Hi dear email.
We requested the VIN Chassis No and registration number to complete a PPSR check.
Have just received the above response also.
Received a few photos with the first Hi Dear email.
Scam!
Hi dear,
Well, let me just jump right into it. also providing pics, and after responding to him his second email also was as per this site starting with I'm in the Air Force with my medical team.....
This was a BIG RED light and screamed scam all over and my final reply to him was
If your story is true, you get the caravan to your premises in Adelaide, we buy what we physically see in reality and pay for it right after into your hands and we have what we paid in our hands, no deal any other way
Every day a sucker is born and we are not one of them!
Your email stinks and says scam everywhere
Cheers mate!!!
