The scam is: There is NO van for sale. They probably lifted the pictures from somewhere else. I have been on Craigslist quite a bit the last few months, and bought 2 cars - soon to buy a 3rd. It is disgusting how many of these scams exist on Craigslist. The language is always the same, you can't call them on the phone, and they won't answer direct questions. I think they operate on the principle that there is a sucker in every crowd. It must work on some level, there are so many scams across the board. T.J.'s Dad is right!
