Scam Example 1 of 17
The motorhome is effectively fictitious; the scammers have listed it as a stock vehicle but it has never been offered for sale by Bookham Autos
The price is roughly 50% of its true value, probably less
The telephone numbers have been changed. All telephone enquiries will be received by the fraudsters - even for enquiries about vehicles that Bookham Autos actually do have in stock
