Craigslist (Fresno, CA) listed with telephone number (559) 201-4254, to which I texted asking for info. I provided my email address and go this reply back:
Thank you for contacting me about my 2008 Keystone Outback 21RS LE. have for sale.
The Camper. is in great shape with clean title.It has no damage, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident…I do have the title, clear. I am selling it at this final price of $2,000 because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories and I, along with my two sons (2 and 4 years old) decided to sell the house and so we moved in Omaha NE, trying to start a new life.
If you’re interested in buying i will wait for your reply THROUGH E MAIL !!!!!!
P.s. Also, you have the pics attached.Length (feet):21. Slide Outs:1 Sleeping Capacity:8
Have a blessed day!

The listing had 24 images of the trailer. (Which I later found to be taken off someone’s vacation photos on his Facebook page!)
A second email from this person linked to an eBay auction.
It reads:
The camper is located in Omaha, NE as I told in my first email but my brother-in-law will use his discount to help me with shipping. He own a business with sewing machines and he is using the shipping company from 3 years. We will use eBay for this transaction so both of us will be protected and insured by them. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to test drive and inspect the camper before paying me. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think is enough for you to make a decision about the camper . I also want to inform you that I am entertaining another 2 offers for it at this moment so please let me know your decision as soon as possible to know what to do. One of them is waiting for a loan and will get in touch with me tomorrow if he can buy it or not and the other one have only $1,500 to buy it.
I have the camper listed on ebay so you can use the buy it now option. I think is more than fair that you pay $2,000 as shipping is my responsibility and you will receive the camper in maximum 2-3 days. Here is the link to my listing on ebay: http://ebay-motors.itm142151123545.stonaep.linkin.tw/itm/2008-Keystone-Outback-21RS-LE-/item5d693af428/142151123545.html
I am looking forward to get things started.
God bless you and your family,
Angela
That auction payment required the purchase of One Vanilla gift (VISA) cards. Also provided a number to verify with eBay motors that this was a legit auction and that eBay protection was in place. (Answered by a male voice who mumbled “ebay motors”… uh..no!
I have since found identical ads in RV sales sites and more craigslist sites.
