zero Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This ad had my head spinning a little. Some guy in Africa with a poor command of English and an even poorer knowledge of Toyota RVs? 1993 Toyota Class C Motorhome - $2000 1993 Class C RV fuel : gastransmission : automatictitle status : clean cylinders : 6 cylinders condition: excellent safety tips prohibited items product recalls avoiding scams 1993 Toyota Class C Motorhome. This RV-Recreation VEHICLE, meaning it is self powered, is a 6 cyclinder 5 speed automatic transmission. It has AC on cab or truck part and good heat. The engine is 20 R if you know Toyotas and runs and drives good, no smoke and trans shifts good. I prefer phone text (9one8) 901-7536. Thank youhttp://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/rvs/4897135419.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob C Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have flagged four 1993 Toyota Winnebagos this week alone on Craigslist here in Wisconsin They even all use the same photo, price, and ad information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 LOL 918 area code isnt even in the state of michigan.... its in Oklahoma. I am sure they will want you to wire transfer $20,000 to africa and will gladly share with you $25,000 when you do. Also did they still put 20 R's in in 1993? by then it should have been a 22RE (efi) or a v6, not the carb 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 The bad info was my point. A six-cylinder 20R engine? Five-speed auto trans? At least with the trans, I can see someone calling it a 5 speed (a stretch though) since the converter-lockup adds an "almost" fifth gear. You'd think a bonifide scammer would do a little more research before posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I saw one of these style adds once listed in craigs michigan with an address in georgia. I went and did a google earth on the address and panned the camera to the address; it was in the biggest hillbilly ghetto ever. The redneck equivalent of southside Chicago gone wrong. there were one legged chickens in the picture circling a beat up trailerhome that was overgrown with elephant grass and trees literally growing through the roof and out of the trailerhome. of course the googlemaps pictures had no toyhome in them; at least not like Lindas address does My address in googlemaps must have an old flyover; still no motorhome in my photo.

linda s Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yes a google search of my house will clearly show a driveway full of motorhomes. There is another one parked at my daughters though. Gee I didn't even think to copy the address on the box you sent me Totem. What was I thinking Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Elephant Grass........... Been a long time since I waded through that. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 hehe, I am nosy. i looked my own house up but it is so BFE that there is no roadside camera only aerial view; and the aerial is very old; none of my cars in it nor is the home improvements I have made. yep the scammers addresses when viewed from google are always hysterically funny. many don't even have a home and are just a lot with a mailbox.
