I'm not sure how it works, but there is a similar scam with PayPal.
Another thing is you have to get out from under your finance company, who holds the title. A good sale should go like this:
1. Sell the TT for cash or check, listing the TT with VIN, on a receipt that says "as is," or with whatever you agree to, and state "Title to be furnished in 30 days." State the full sales price exactly. State what accessories are included (television, tongue jack, whatever) and what you are NOT including (locks, 30 amp extension cable, hydraulic jack, etc)
2. Take the money, and pay off the title with the loan company. Add money out of pocket if the sale price wasn't enough. Tell them you need the title back soon.
3. With the title back in your hands, sign the release on the back, and make it out to the buyer.
4. Get that title in the hands of the buyer ASAP. You promised!
5. Check with your own state to see if the license plate should be transferred. Here in SC, you get credit for turning it in, while the buyer buys his/her own. Gets complicated with property taxes. They will go by the price on the sales receipt. Don't fudge, or try to do them a favor "under the table." The price is the price!
