I found a camper on craigslist that was being offered at a price that was almost too good to believe. I contacted the seller via email. He was slow to respond claiming that he was out of town planning his daughters wedding. He provided good pictures and told me that he was selling the camper through a company called Online Outlook sales and that surely I must have heard of it. I told him that I had not. He said that I was to send them the money and they would send me the camper. I immediately thought this was a risky thing for me to do. So I began doing some research on the internet. Alarms starting going off. I asked the seller to phone me and he would not.
I tried many times to contact this company via their phone number but nobody would answer. I sent several emails asking for a return call and still nobody would call. I would receive vague responses in poor English that evaded my questions.
At this point, basically, I was being asked to send $5000 cash to a company that I did not know, for a camper I had never seen, being sold by a man I had never meet or actually spoken to. You gotta be kidding me.
I finally got through to this company by live chat. The operator refused to identify herself or the company. When I explained that I was trying to verify that this was a legitimate company, the operator told me that my order was canceled and they instantly ended the live chat.
I have no doubt that Online Outlook Sales is a complete scam. Please, Buyer Be Ware.
