Alert
On April 9, 2021, a consumer alerted Better Business Bureau
to a Craigslist Scam and fraudulent shipping company operating as Trust Shipping
Group. The Craigslist Scam offered a 2014 Jayco Grayhawk Class C motorhome for
$27,500.00 and directed interested buyers to contact Arianne French at arianne.french@infoarianne.com.
Upon contacting the Arianne French, the consumer learned the
motorhome was being sold due to a lack of use and was being stored at Trust
Shipping Group. Arianne French said she was, “out of the country” and she
directed the consumer to contact, “John” at Trust Shipping Group to arrange the
sale and shipping of the motorhome.
Once contacting, “John”, the consumer was directed to wire
the money to a company operating as, “Coinbase” where it would be held in
escrow until the motorhome was delivered to the consumer. They further told the
consumer that once delivery of the motorhome had been made, the consumer had ten
days to inspect it and agree to the sale price; if the consumer agreed to make
the purchase, Coinbase would transfer the money to the seller to finalize the
sale.
The consumer reported a financial loss of $27,500.00 and the
telephone numbers for John at Trust Shipping Group and Arianne French have been
disconnected.
