Hi,
Thanks for the alert.
And not just this, but in all kinds of other places, evidently the internet
has opened up a whole new world for scams and abusive
behavior.............and typically the moderators or site owners say they
can't do anything about it.

Yesterday and today a few cheap Vanagon Campers popped up on the local
Craigslist, too cheap.


Jan 22 - 1986 Vanagon Camper Excellent Condition - $1150


Jan 21 - 1984 Vanagon Camper Westy - $900


Jan 21 - 1988 vanagon westy camper vw - $800


I wondered what was going on and then this ad showed up.

Jan 22 - Vanagons wanted Instant Cash

I think the idea is to justify low price offers by using the fake ads
posted by the same person to show what normal asking prices should be.

The ads details are sparse, all have similarities in posting style, no
phone number or photos.
