[Drover]

Welcome, welcome @Alphazot , great first post and well done on spotting the bastard-

They are persistent. The name on the drivers license and registration was Henry James Blake and Dallas Blake...I too have reported it to Trading post (twice) as I noticed the add appear 4 months after the first time I notified trading post. Same pictures and blurb but different place in Australia.
I also reported to fraud squad as such gave them all my emails and the paperwork they sent but nothing eventuated.
If you are looking to buy from an advertised online add then you may wish to go to
https://images.google.com
From there you can up load the url were the pictures are or save the picture to your computer and upload. The google site will search all online material and show you where and when this picture /s has been used before.
May assist in getting the authenticity of the advertisement!

Good detective work and a worthwhile use of the forum.

Best of luck in finding your van. At least you'll not be sucked in to some sleazy scam.

These scammers are now working out of Newcastle selling a 16 foot expanda pop top, with a " too good to be true" price
Same old stuff, nurse from Toowoomba, Qld etc

I enquired about the same van in Emerald. The annoying thing was that I reported the ad as a scam to the Trading Post and they never removed it. As a basic rule of thumb if something sounds to good to be true then it probably is

I think I spotted one the other day as well but meant to check ...life got in the way and I forgot.

From memory a 2012 18.56 OB for $12300 I think.

Will try to remember where I saw it but warning bells rang.
