Default Real or fake??

My friend just bought a 2002 Honda Cbr f4i from some guy in Alabama for $2800 this price also includes shipping to California. He said he's shipping through this company called WCE here's the link it looks like a scam to me. What do guys think??

Fake.

No phone numbers on there website and if they were as big as they say, they wouldn't just have made the website this year.

I'm just trying to figure out if the guy in Alabama is driving to Houston or Atlanta to ship the bike out, as those are the 2 nearest "locations".
