Does this deal sound legit?

[WindyOne]

The guy is asking $4900. It just seems to me to be worth more. Anytime I see a deal that sounds too good to be true I get suspicious.

Not a trike . Still about $2,000 cheap

 

[BlueTrinity]

Don't tarry! Either buy it or send me the phone number!

I would think it is not real, but check anyway. If it's not local maybe you know someone close to the listing that can check it out for you. Just seems way to low to be real.

 

[WindyOne]

If I had any doubts this reply just comvinved me it is a scam. This is the reply I got this m orning from the guy.

It's in perfect condition without any mechanical problems,with no damages or hidden defects,no need for additional repairs,clear title without any accidents,liens or loans.All power equipment are in working order.I have all the bike's manuals,2 spare of keys,all the documents and papers. I am located in Bradenton,FL and the bike is already at the shipping company here in Bradenton,FL with all the taxes payed waiting for the destination. I will ship it from here on my expense through DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers).The payment will be handled securely through MoneyBookers Escrow and I have a purchase protection account. They will handle the financial part of this transaction, I will only take care of the shipping.If you want to make this purchase, the final price is $4,900. I ask a little for this great bike since I am passing through a divorce with my wife and I need to get rid of it fast. Send me your name and address so I can start the case with MoneyBookers Escrow. They will contact you by email with instructions.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

John I am confused are you saying this isn't a trike? Still this is a scam.

 

[Nana]

Sure looks like a trike to me, WindyOne. But it sure looks like a scam to me too!

 

[John Luciano]

Thanks, but No Thanks!

The "buy it sight unseen - pay up front - I promise to ship" routine is a dead give-away. :busted:

 

[Ironhorsepilot]

Yes, looks like a scam for sure. I would flag them on craigslist!

 

[Gorilla]

If you google moneybrokers escrow there are several reports of fraud associated with that web site.

 

[John Luciano]

Mater a fact, She was selling that one and another red one . Different PH# but the same garage in picture (location )

 

[Gorilla]

If you are going to scam them might as well do it twice.

 

[acmeactor]

Put part of the description into a google search and see how many different Craigslist's it comes up under. I came close to getting burned on a Roadhawk for a great price, did a google search and found it (with the same photos) listed in 7 different Craigslists all over the country.

 

[WindyOne]

I did flag the post today but only after giving the person a chance to reply to my last email to them.
"Hello Clifford,
I have a trip planned for next week to Florida. I will swing over to Bradenton and take a look at the bike and the paperwork, perhaps even take a test ride around the parking lot if you would oblige me. How would I contact you when I get into Florida?
Take care"

I thought I would bluff them and see how they handled it. I have yet to receive a reply, Big surprise there.

 

[Lunchbox1983]

Scam WAAAAYYYYY too cheap for a 1800 trike.

 

[WindyOne]

I just did a google search of the post title and found a craigslist posting identical in tucson, N.Y. and western Maryland. Some were already flagged. Inspite of the post I flagged it still runs. Guess I don't have the magic.

 

[WindyOne]

This person doesn't seem to give up. I found a new listing last night and of course had to e mail them to hear the latest story.

'98 Goldwing GL1500SE

This time out it is a woman who is being deployed to Afghanistan. The bike is located in Great Falls MT at the shippers and she will pay to have the trike shipped. She doesn't want the trike to just sit in her backyard while she is gone. I would flag the post but honestly it seems never ending. Savy buyers know this is a scam waiting to happen.

 

[WindyOne]

Bad enough that they are scammers but to use a soldier as bait is really low.

 

[WindyOne]

I just love finding out more stuff about these scammers.
