Too good to be true!

Caravans offered at ridiculously low prices e.g. 2007 twin axle Hobby - 1500Euros!

Here in France there are many adverts on a free site for caravans at prices well below their market value. When contacted, the advertisers are always out of the country and have left the caravan with an agent/friend/relative who will bring it to your address for the sale, providing you supply your full name, address and mobile and fixed phone numbers. Some request payment when the caravan is delivered either by cash or Western Union transfer. They are clearly scams, either involved in ID theft or trying to extort money. Has anyone experience/information of this type of scam?
