Suspicious Fraudulent Activity or email Phishing

We found a 2006 Keystone Montana RV with a price that was almost too good to be true.  In the listing it said they were located in my home town (Houston).  I sent them an email and then they said they were now in Virginia and had to ship the item.  I could not find the model number for the RV they listed in the kelly blue book, and the seller said they didn't have a phone number because they had recently gotten a divorce and had to set up new phone service.

 

They said they were going to arrange with ebay for shipping.  Then I got an email from them from a bank in Nigeria.  Their English wasn't even correct. 

 

We notified pay pal immediately.

Yah, it's a scam.

 

Technically, it's called the "Kubota Tractor scam" - read all about it here;
