A very similar email showed up in the scam book for the name Brian Walters: very similar format for gathering information and using the same phone number: this person is gathering information and will most likely front that there is a problem sending money to you by mail and then ask for banking information which supposedly allows him to transfer funds into your account; what they do is use your account number to clean out your bank account, beware!

This is a copy of the email I recieved:

Hello

How are you today? Hope you are great. My client and I are based in England. My client informed me that the RV would be shipped along with other properties he purchased to his daughter who resides in Canada. He is buying it to present as a gift to his daughter and son in-law whom he missed their wedding ceremony because of his health condition.

I am okay with the price and without further negotiations. Payment will get to you in a cashier check of $23,000; this amount is expected to cover both the shipping and any other expenses that might incur in the course of this transaction.

So you are required to deduct the cost of your RV $16,500 when payment is received and give the balance of $6,500 to the shipper for him to be able to offset shipping fees, tax / other charges and cosmetic repair costs. Upon receiving your payment and balance sent down to the shipper, the shipping agent will come for pick up (of RV & signing of title papers), and drive to the prepaid shipper.

Please confirm this whole arrangement and provide the details below for check payment to be delivered to you.

Payment information:

1. Legal name in full...

2. Full address...

3. Phone number (s)...

Note: payment will be sent to you right away once you forward your information.

Thanks for your time, effort and anticipated cooperation.
Regards
