Is this a scam?
We're looking to buy our first caravan so we're new to all that entails - although we've got the idea that damp is the biggest thing to watch out for!
We've seen a caravan advertised in the Caravan Club classifieds/caravansforsale website that looks promising. However the phone number provided on the advert wasn't valid - a typo? So I emailed them and it turns out that it is owned by a couple in France,
but they bought the caravan in the UK. They are proposing to bring the caravan over to the UK for us to view it so long as we are very seriously interested. In their second email they also mention how they would like to use the service of www.escrow.com
as this is safer for both buyer and seller.
I don't want to turn down a good deal but equally wondering why they would go to this trouble to sell it, why not just sell it in France?
Your opinions would be most welcome :-)
Thanks.
