joshdagreat56 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 someone listed a 98 cbr 900rr on 100motorcycles.com for 2700 dollars everything checked out he said he was from wi and sure enough the bike was registered in wi , but when it came to making a payment he said he was in england and he would ship the bike. so what i did is use western union and i sent it in my mothers name that way he could check and make sure i have the money but not take it out, well it turns out he had one of his girls go in with a fake i.d. and collect the money. he took all my money the bastard i would love to have an address or something i would get my 2700 worth. any way the f.b.i. are all over it because they said this same guy has sold this bike on ebay about 4 times. so whatever you do if your going to buy a bike on ebay make sure you get the bike first.

cb67rs1 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 you might want to check into the FBI all over it thing, my buddy had the same excast thing happen to him , but it cost him 3400 bucks. he was told since the money was sent out of the US there was nothing the FBI or anyone could do about it. sorry for the lose man, its a little learnign curve for all DO NOT SEND WESTERN UNION!!

Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 I thought the seller asking for you to send money through a wire transfer service was not only against EBay policy BUT THE FIRST HINT THAT ITS A SCAM!!!! Damn sorry to hear about this, and I hope you can recover something. There are some guys on this board from the UK, maybe they can find out something for you. Quote
joshdagreat56 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Posted March 31, 2004 i hear that i will definetly never do that again i just hope everyone can learn from my mistake. Quote

H300F Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 when its too good to be true, and on ebay, it definately is. they are doing it with old muscle cars to quads. Quote
banshee76179 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Damn that blows.. That's what my dad always said" learn the easy way or the hard way" that was the expensive way.. You have his name or id so we know not 2 mess w/him ??? Quote
fartndust Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 I got scammed in just the same manner about 2 years ago. We contacted local jurisdiction as well as the FTC, and the FBI. Both had us fill out a bunch of crap that netted us......nothing. It was a $2500 lesson for us as well..Bastards! Quote
sheeweet Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 I feel for ya, man!! Probably all yo can really do is learn from it. It sucks getting pimped like that. Man it sucks getting pimped period. Quote
bansheefreak Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 when you send western union you are leaving every option to get money back out... sorry i don't feel for ya ... hope you get over the lose thou.. like others said if its to good to be true it prolly is.... we all like good deals but come on a deal is a deal a steal on ebay is basically a steal of your money....
