BIGDOGDADDY Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalinIt Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
