I emailed this guy about a bike he's selling and check out what he wrote...what do you guys think... thanks in advance

--The bike is still for sale and is in perfect conditions with no damages and i am the only owner of this.the bike has a clear title.The bike has a US title and i am the only owner of this bike.The price is like this because i need the money urgently to make a surgery and this is the only reason i sell the bike at this price.
I will pay all the shipping taxes and you will receive the bike in max 7 days .
just tell me when you will be able to make the payment?
For the moment I am in UK at my family and I have the bike with me ....but there is no problem because I will pay all the shipping taxes.
Thank you and I will wait for your email.---

use an exchange place where it cost a few bucks, they take delivery of both the money and the goods, and then distribute them once everything is checked out. I honestly dont know why people dont use these services. You absolutly cant go wrong then.

 

don't do it man!! i almost got taken for the same type of thing. the guys was selling a bike but he wanted to do the transaction through a seperate escrow called etradingsafe.com. anyway he was gonna sell me a 2003 honda cbr 600rr for 2500. it sounded to good to be true and it was. my uncle who buys and sells harley's recieved an almost identical email as i did saying that they are leaving the country so they have to sell the bike quick and he was willing to throw in a helmet, gloves, and cover shipping. that says scam all over it!!

 

thanks for all the replies fellas..

 

Its only one of the oldest scams! If its too good too be true it is.

 

In case you missed it, its a scam.

 

yeah, total scam!! And a lot of times, these scam artists use locations outside of the U.S, like the U.K.

Be aware of these guys, and be careful guys
