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!
