    He or she is gone. Deleted. Person advertising a camper with leather seats and everything...

    Victor Lee is not a scammer. He is real, I know him very well. Those posts where legit.

    That was my mistake! Didn't know that leather seats were an option so thought he was a scammer. Hopefully he returns to get his camper sold, and I'll be able to apologize...

    No, the whole thing seemed a little sketchy to me, too. The email address didn't help.

    I didn’t think anything about the leather however I found the CB odd. I hope he comes back.

    I don't think you need too --- While I Hope we hear from him again, perhaps Cary can salve the wound. The posts fit a particular set of criteria that concerned us all, methinks.

    1] New member with no posts
    2] Only posts made were in sale/wanted
    3] All posts were basically identical
    4] No personal details, no serial numbers, or customization of response

    I can tell you from past experience, moderating forums is a thankless job, and today scammers use technology to bring naive prospects into their lairs with amazing efficiency. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, look up "scammer revenge" on youtube.

    What scammers do is frighteningly simple, taking only a few dollar to do, with complete anonymity. With a very cheap piece of software I could call you, changing my caller ID, and look like I was calling from anyone, anypalce, any name in the world -- and you'd realistically never find me.

    I saw it Steve, and was of the same mind. Many thought the same thing. Maybe he'll give it another shot. Time will tell.

    I too thought the email addy was too cute.
    With the too brief description it looked like other scammer posts here and elsewhere.

    Victor could have updated it, added serial number, photos; appealed to mods or Cary by PM, problem solved.

    Sorry that Victor departed but not sorry for liking the caution, and do appreciate the community here that supports it.
