I have my 2011 Cameo for sale on the Carriage Forum. I have received an inquiry from RV Wholesalers Inc in Alberta,BC. The guy seemed on the up and up, website checks out, etc. He said that he would wire the money to my bank and would not take possession for at least two weeks to assure that all finances and paperwork were complete to my satisfaction. I am leaning towards just passing and waiting for a more traditional transaction. Thoughts, experience, advise.

You said he wanted to wire the money to your bank. Does that mean you would have to give him your account information? If so, I might sell it to them, especially if he is paying what you asked, but I would ask for a check instead. I really don't like to give out bank account info to strangers.

Vance,
I agree but in this case it would be paying off the bank note. His words were to get wiring instructions from the loan officer but I agree I would never give him my bank account information. I like the idea of a check.

There is a scam out there where they claim to have sent money, and then say that a mistake was made and too much money was sent, so they need you to send some back. But then, when all the money transactions have cleared, you find out that their's didn't clear and that you've sent them money, but they haven't sent you any. In addition you can end up paying fee's because their wire transaction didn't actually clear. This one sends up my scam alert instincts and if I were you, I'd probably wait for a more traditional transaction.

Get his banking info.....have your bank officer contact his bank officer to make the transaction......if this in part is to pay off the note the check or transaction will have to be in yours and the banks name and it puts half of the responsibility on the bank and they hold title.......trust me if its a scam they will be putting up the biggest flag!!! and they will know it before he signs the line.........................

You can also let him mail you a check, make the deposit yourself, after the check clears he takes title.
