paintball for life Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 i am in negotiations with a person to buy a quad. it is overseas and i do not know the person. when we were talking he said that we would use square trade to make sur e neither of us got screwed over. has anybody delt through them before. i was wondering if they can help you any if you do get screwed over. any feedback will be helpful Quote
d-dizzle Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 its a scam mane you should never ever ever ever buy something like that from overseas. if you can't go pick it up and toss it in the back of your truck, don't buy it. buy local only. you'll be the only one gettin screwed. i hope i'm wrong and it's legit but i've heard those overseas scams soooooooooooooo many times. in technical terms.... don't buy it Quote
NYUK Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 don t tell me you already sent money,if you did you are beat. what kind of cave do you live in that you haven t seen or heard of these overseas, free shipping to good to be true deals. Quote
paintball for life Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Posted October 25, 2005 i havent sent the money yet. i am really thinking it is one of those too good to be true deals. he used to live in alberta canada, which is where i live but moved. here is what he said as too why he is selling if for so cheap. First of all I have to tell you that I am located in Slovakia along with the ATV. I am trying to make a new life here because my wife wants to be closer to her family. The Quote

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Contact him and see if he can come up with 5 more for that price, tell him it's such a good deal you'd like to setup the whole family and you've got the money waiting to get the transaction started as soon as he gets some.

dawarriorman Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Thats a scam, don't even bother with him. Why would he spend all that money to take it with him from canada overseas, only then to realize the taxes would be too much? And then pay the shipping again to get it back to canada. Classic scam. If it sounds to good to be true, it is. Quote
Bansh88 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Those scams are all over the internet. Always a foreigner, often the "middleman" for another guy. DO NOT do it. Quote
paintball for life Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Posted October 25, 2005 i was very suspicious of it being a scam. now i am pretty dam sure. in his last email he sent me he said if i want to go forward with the deal give him my address so he can send the car. we were talking about a quad. kind of hard mistake to make if the deal is real Quote
dawarriorman Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Oh yeah, and how does he know it has 110 miles? Ive seen hour meters on quads, but not odometers. Quote
Robert Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 As this does sound so much like a scam, Square Trade is a legit company that is not a scam. http://www.squaretrade.com/cnt/jsp/index.jsp SquareTrade works alot with Ebay. So If he is willing to use Square Trade, then maybee this is not a scam? Quote

So what if he's willing to use it, he's in another country, what are you going to do, call the cops? Oh right, he's in another country. Ive seen tons of these, its a classic scam. Quote
