I had my 2nd Country Coach on RVT & got a cashier's check. I had my credit union fraud department check it. I got confirmation it was fraud, so I played the guy for weeks, he was livid when I told him I knew from day 1.
Andrew this style of scam has been going on for 10 years in every aspect of products sold through the Internet. It’s just not RVs it’s everything. Thank you for exposing this to your subscribers it may help them out with a piano they have for sale etc. Thomyt
I had the exact same thing happened to me trying to sell a car on auto trader. I was so bombarded with this exact scam that I ended up trading the damn thing in.
Thank you Andrew, Doug and Richard for this information. It is sad that there are people that do this. Andrew, I do like the people that you work with and introduce them to us. It is nice to have good friends that are good people to work with. Have a great day!
This has been a thing for years now in other sectors (auto, apt rentals, etc). I guess it was only a matter of time til it hit the RV world... Renters would even put a deposit down on a home, only to find out later that the place wasn't for rent at all! Sometimes it would be a vacant property for sale (and the scammer would just remove the agent's sign). They'd lose their 1st month's rent, and still be left with nowhere to live. Remember, you can print checks at home. So staples, office depot, and Amazon sell blank check paper to print whatever you want.
Scams are everywhere! These scammers work hard on stealing your hard earned items/money, if they put that effort into a real job they more than likely be successful. Good looking out.
The EXACT same scam is done with luxury cars. The scamer always sends more in the hoax check. The scammer then asks you send back what you do not need which is YOUR honest real money! BEWARE! Valuable video!
As a UPS driver here in Fort Lauderdale and people would drop hundreds of Next Day envelopes in Drop Boxes and people would get $500-2500 certified checks and same thing. It would cash before the bank knew it was fake and the people cashing it would pay for it. If it is given to you don’t except it
This is an issue that is prevalent many different industries. I had a similar situation happen to me in a non-rv related deal. Check was written for extra and then they asked to send some money for other purposes. I was suspicious as well so I called the bank that the check was drawn on and basically found the same thing. It was a scam.
Love to get a list of trusted RV dealerships and the names of the dealers you have worked with. Thanks for the heads up on the scams out there. My husband and I are in mid Florida for the next 7 months. Would love a slightly used Tiffin or Newmar. Currently we have a Winnebago Forza. Would love a lighter brighter interior and more counter space. Our previous coach was a Tiffin gas coach 36 LA model. I miss the interior quality of my Tiffin cabinets. But a new diesel Tiffin or Newmar was out of price range for us.
This is an old scam that they used to do with farm equipment same thing and farmers and auctioneers and equipment sellers got wise to him and do exactly what you’re saying you got to wire the money or give them cash.
Samething happen to us on RVT website. Send cashier checks USPS. Check from Ny. Bank in Florida, return address in Ca. Only talk with a text .Called the bank and said it was a fraud.
The scam wasn't made clear in this video. It's not that anyone is trying to get the RV with a bad check. It's that there making the check for over the amount. And before the check clears (10 days) they're going to call and ask for some of the money back. In this case $10k - $15k. So, an unsuspecting person would send that overage, but when the original check is reported by the bank as fraudulent, then it's too late and you're out 10k-15k..
What’s the difference if (You) rip him off or a scammer? The customer still gets fucked! And lose some weight and shave, get some clothes that fit. Gross!

Great content Andrew. Buyer and seller beware that's for sure!
