    When we bought our first moho 4 years ago here in the UK we found an advert on something like Craigs list for an almost new motorhome for a small amount of money plus have this storage company deliver it. My husband kept saying it was a bargain. Had I not had that red flag waving in my face all the time I am pretty sure he would have parted with our lifes savings and lost the lot. Its the age old saying 'if it sounds to be too good to be true then it probably is'.

      Our 2 governments, Canada & the U.S. can't really do more than they are. Sure, there are criminals here in our 2 countries, but they aren't the big guys! Most of them here in our 2 countries are cash mules, money launderers & small time. When caught, out justice systems can indeed prosecute these guys, but they aren't the ring leaders! These ring leaders are extremely well hidden & hiding out in foreign countries. And those foreign countries don't want to put the effort in to work with our 2 governments to try to catch these criminals. Most of them are small time themselves & don't know who or where the big leaders are. The calls you receive are mostly form within India or Africa and are set up to be torn down within minutes. The majority of these scammers are not living in our 2 countries.

    Thank you very much for educating us. I am getting text messages from USPS about needing more info in order to deliver a package. USPS will NEVER text you, ever. Don’t fall for this. Don’t click on any links. I also get text messages from ”employment agencies” about jobs available. I’m not looking for a job. You give good advice. If someone calls you or texts you from a number that you do not recognize, report it as a scam. All the very best to y’all.

    Number #1 Never vote for a liar Number #2 Never vote for a liar. This was a excellent video, you two are doing a needed public service, and I suggest that when you encounter a civil servant ( paid by our taxes) that does't want to do their job that you report them to a supervisor and request feedback in writing. There's just no excuse for ignoring scams. Keep up the good work, thanks. 😁😁😎😎👍👍💙💙

    I’m only 5 minutes in the video and immediately what caught my attention was how detailed the description of the vehicle. And I thought most older women would not know that much detail about their husbands RV. But I’m going to continue to watch to see what happens.

    • @ThatRVOverThere
      @ThatRVOverThere  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes! That’s why I was 50/50 when I got the initial email because of the lack of detail made it seem like it could be legit but once that second email came in, red flag. Also a photo of the odometer screamed Craigslist ad to me. I would imagine someone giving away a beloved RV would show pictures of themselves with it on the amazing vacations they took.

Ummm I don't own a car or anything in my name!

    Betty Jean wants to move to Beverly Hills, ha ha ha! When something sounds too good to be true it always is.
    I'm a senior and I deal with scammers almost daily. I never answer a call from a number i don't know. My email has several scams every week. About 10-12 years ago when only your friends and family were just about your only callers, this guy called and said he was from Microsoft and he needed me to go to my computer and he wanted me to share my screen so he could fix a major problem. After he wouldn't be more specific I hung up. Next week, he called again from a different number and I said no I'm not speaking to you. The next week, I'm in the grocery store and my number is displayed as calling me. Puzzled I answered and it was him again! He asked me a question and I said why? He explained and I said why? Every question or comment he made I said why? After 20 or so why's he was so mad he hung up and never called back!!

    Instagram is part of the Facebook scam network. My newish account with only a few pics got two offers to license pics in the same evening right on top of each other. I messaged the first person back and went through their speil. There was a low probability of a real request, my Flickr account gets those occasionally, but everytime the most I'll get is a reference, no dinero. Sure enough, the "artist" wanted to pay $$$ to use my photo as the basis for a painting and needed money for supplies to complete the deal. Nice try, at least they left me alone when I called them on it. The second one I decided to have some fun with. I messaged them back that the photo they were trying to buy was not available due to licensing issues, which happened to be true - you can't sell photos from East Jesus in Slab City without their permission. They just came back to me with another random photo and asked if they could buy that one. Lazy scammers!
