kubiac3 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Posted January 10, 2007 Well the only place I have it listed right now is on here because I dont have any pics right now. I sent him an email to give me his phone number and we will talk about it over the phone, and that I can be trusted but idk about you. Quote
fast500#12 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 scam for sure. you get a fake check for 6g's some one comes and gets your bike. bank tries to get the funds from the check and can't because it's a fake bank. and guess what now you are out your bike and now you are responsable for the 6g's too. tell them to get hosed.

Guest nightmare Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 It's a scam just like bansheefreak said. They had something about on tv a while back. Quote
BIGDOGDADDY Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Do yourself a favor and forget about that deal!! I have heard of other scams just like this on Ebay. Nothing good will happen for you with this deal. Remember the wise old saying. If it's too good to be true it probley is. Only in this case it definetly is too good to be true!!!!! Best of luck.

broncogurl Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 I get these all the time when I try to sell things on craigslist. Besides all that was already said in previous posts, the mention of Western Union is also a good indication of a scam. Quote
black sunshine Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Know a guy that got burned on the exact same scenario.......you think ebay would spent some of its cash to make a better effort to sniff this crap out.....contact them and let them know about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
bansheeseat$$ Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 It's a scam,Get them all the time too. Quote
theshee Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Scammers suck!!! Thats almost as bad as some ive seen on ebay... LOL Quote
dajogejr Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Yep...got the same one yesterday at my work email address... Generally, when they leave an email address, I go to Planet Out.com and sign them up for newsletters on gays/lesbians, beastiality and all those other good email news letters.... Quote
SoCalinIt Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 I got a bunch of them when I posted my YFZ450 in the myspace.com for sale section. Big mistake posting for sale items there. Stay away from things like this... no good can come out of this. Quote
