“Hello, my name is Patricia. The 2015 Leisure Travel UNITY U24MB is still for sale, here you have some info that I pulled out from the user's manual: Mercedes-Benz 3 Liter V6 BlueTEC Turbo Diesel – 188 hp/325 ft-lb w/ Mercedes, 5-Speed automatic transmission, miles: 14,500, chassis: Mercedes, Monitor Panel, Water Filter System, 600 Watt Inverter for Entertainment & Bedroom, 3.2 KW Onan Diesel Generator,160 Watt Solar Panel. Here is a link to the RV's photo gallery: https://sites.google.com/view/leisuretravel
It has a clear title, here's the VIN: WDAPF4CCXE9591468. “
>> I checked the title and vin number and saw there were previous owners. Her next communication was ...
“Thank you very much! I'm in a military base right now, waiting to be sent back overseas to replace and help the troops scheduled to come home. I left the RV stored at Baraka Logistics LLC, in Minnesota. They provide very good services, you can either go there to test it and pick it up or you can have it shipped. They have all the documentation and a power of attorney, so they can sign the title in my name.
If you are interested to proceed, I need to register you as the legal buyer in this transaction before anything else. So please send me your contact information (Full name, shipping address and phone number).
Here you have their contact info, just in case you want to ask anything:
Baraka Logistics LLC

>> Next I went online ran a CarFax report and all looked legit. I even viewed Baraka Logistics LLC, from google maps street view. After this we were obviously handed off to BL LLC. Next, after requesting an escrow agreement, as recommended by our attorney, they said they'd have to hand it off to their finance department. I then received an email with an escrow agreement attached that was signed by the seller and a representative from Baraka logistics LLC. (See attachment).
>> At this point, I had my attorney review the escrow agreement.
“Our Financial Department needs to verify your identity before creating the escrow account for your transaction.
Therefore, they need the following:
- a copy of your State issued valid Driver License (front and back)
- an utility bill (matching the address on your DL)
- your Social Security Number
- a selfie picture (a clear photo of yourself without hat, sunglasses, scarf, etc)
This is a caution measure in order to provide you the best service and protection!
You can find attached our data protection policy.
For any questions you can call us at: +1 (612) 568-4380
Have a nice day!”
After, again consulting my attorney, he could see no reason why they would ask for this info since the transaction would be a cash transfer of the entire payment for the RV. I then called Baraka Logistics LLc and spoke with the man I was dealing with, and this is when the comments from the scammer became aggressive and belligerent.
>> This is when my attorney and I became suspicious. H suggested I speak to my bank rep. before wiring any money, and they told me of the ScamPulse.com scam alert…
“Millions of dollars lost to nonexistent cars and other vehicles sold online”
>> We consider ourselves on-line smart and I work in IT. I find this somewhat embarrassing that it came this close before we recognized the evil behind it. I hope this helps capture the perpetrator, with a heavy foreign accent, we were dealing with who stated that his “5th grade son was smarter than our attorney, and we should find another attorney”.
