HAPPY CAMPERS

"Sold the camper in 3 hrs!! Had over 10 calls. Someone in Virginia bought it! They drove up the next day and drove it home! The photo's did the trick! Plus the best thing I could have done was put it in the highlighted section... Thank You!"

- C. Jolls from Rhode Island, June 7

"Our travel trailer is sold, thanks to your site. Thank you for the opportunity of paying once and leaving our RV on until it sold. In this economy, it takes longer to sell, and we probably would have given up before finding a buyer without this service. Also, we found and purchased the perfect one for us right here! Your site is awesome!"

- B. Jordan from North Carolina, June 15

"Thank you, we had our ad in several publications, and we sold it through RVT.com. Your $99 until sold price is great. Our truck camper, was vehicle specific, and took a little time to sell, so that option was perfect for us. We would surely use you again, Thank you for a great service."

- R. Raffile from Maine, June 20

FRAUD PREVENTION

Our security system is constantly being upgraded for your protection, however, please note the following alerts:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: A recent phishing scam has been targeting RVT advertisers who have included an email address in the RV Description of their ad. The email is stating "Your ad will be removed in 36 hours due to nonactivity..." This notice is NOT from RVT.com. If you have any questions or concerns, or feel that your user information has been compromised, please contact our support office at tradersupport@rvt.com

Prices that seem too good to be true usually are.

Refuse any deal in which a buyer, usually claiming to be from overseas, is acting on behalf of a "client" and requests you to send an amount ABOVE your selling price.

When using an Escrow Service, only use trusted providers such as Escrow.com. Type in the Escrow Provider's site URL DIRECTLY into your web browser and DO NOT TRUST LINKS SENT IN EMAIL INQUIRIES, they may lead to a spoof web site.

Refuse any arrangement in which the 'buyer' requests an inspection of your RV, at YOUR expense. Some scam attempts using the following company names: Helping Hands Ministry, Easy Go Auto, Your Auto Brokers.

Please visit our web site for more information on fraud prevention. If in doubt or to report a suspicious ad, please contact our support office at 1-800-677-4484 or email us at tradersupport@rvt.com.
