BATUCARAVANS


We are searching the Web for a used Motorhome and found a site called Batucaravans and am wandering if anyone out there has dealt or purchased a van with them. I have contacted them online but because the prices are so low I feel its some sort of scam.

"we offer insured shipping across Australia". 78 vans and motorhomes listed, all at bargain prices. Hardly likely. But give them a call and ask to see one. If they say they can't but they can deliver it you will know for sure.

Have a look at Google Street View and Google Maps for their address ..... 43 Ferris Rd, Cobblebank VIC. It's a quarry. Not a van or motorhome in sight.

The prices on offer are unrealistic to anyone, so definitely something seriously wrong with the large numbers of van campervans motorhomes.

They put low prices on to get a fast sale via electronic transfer, with the new cyber fraud laws on banking institutions this type of thing may take a hit. They call the accounts Money Mule Accounts that some large business banks allow to be opened without due dalliance.

This company comes and goes regularly, under different names, different ridiculous addresses, and always with unbelievable prices.

A scam in scam clothing.

Why is there no mention of this scam on the NT government's web site? Why do these warnings need to be posted to Faecebook instead of the main web site?
