scam or not???
so this was the add on craigslist,
http://cnj.craigslist.org/mcy/300340901.html and below is the e-mail i got a few minutes ago!! :roflmao: :roflmao: my question to the post was how can a bike with the amount of miles and the year and being a 1200, could only be 4k, so i got my answer below! :roflmao: :roflmao: Hi, Thank you for your interest in my bike. The bike is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches, dings, dents or other imperfections. Always garaged. Clear title. Price is $4,000 if you buy now. Firstly, I need to tell you that I recently moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands due to work and family. Since I have no more relatives back home, I brought the bike with me thinking that I could register it here. However, because of the big differences between the US emissions and the local ones, I can't register it without spending a fortune. Shipping will be done via Lufthansa Cargo and it will take no more then 10-12 days. I have a friend at Lufthansa who will manage me a low price shipping..I ll cover the fees. I ve also done bussiness through eBay and I ll like to finish the deal through them for a safe deal for both! Let me know your thoughts! |
1. Find picture of bike on intarweb
2. Advertise bike for close to nothing 3. Sell to sucker 4. Enjoy big American money in Nigeria. |
they are out there for sure!!:roflmao:

similar thing happened to me from a bike trader add w/ almost similar wording in the e-mail that was sent to me. told him good luck on selling the bike. if it sounds to good to be true 9 times out of ten it is!
if your that interested in giving away money though you can send it to me.:nod2: seriously, my advise is stay away! |
Same story. 5000 for a year old V-Rod. Asked my guy to sign up for an escrow service. Told him I would pay the fees. He went away.
|
definately stay away.
|
Haha, scam. Super definetly scam. I saw the same ad (I browse CL habitually) and giggled. The wording in every scam is the same, and so are the propositions. Don't even waste your time emailing him.
|
are you kidding???? I'm jumped on it..my money is on its way..i hope i get my bike soon...-= 0

I have a great bridge to sell you if you are in the market for one...It connects NY to NJ I call it by my fathers name "George Washington" but you can name it whatever you want for $4000.00 let me know........
|
I guarantee you guys some wealthy American banker is probably the man behind the first Nigerian scam... It absolutely HAS to be a lucrative business to be in, you know? Think of how many suckers there are with more money than common sense.
