Hello.  I am a first time Ebay user and thank you guys for writing your SCAM stories, they have helped me save my money.  Rita Catoe was selling it on Ebay for $2800.00, when the real price for a Ducati 2007 is about $13000.00-$15000.00.  She was in UK like some of the SCAM stories say.  I almost got SCAMMED!!!!!!!!!

She said that she was registered with a secure trader department.  Here is the e-mail:

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my 2007 Ducati 1098. I want you to know that I closed my auction earlier because someone has offered me the buy it now price, but didn't have all the
money available.
Now the bike is still available. Everything about this bike functions perfectly.Incredible
power, handling and reliability. If you are interested in buying, the price is $ 2,800 US .
I had to move with my family in UK where I got a new job transfer. I brought the bike here with
me but when I found out about the very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding
registration and emissions tests here I've decided to sell the vehicle. I want to sell it in US
because is still registered there. It is made for US market and has US specs on it. The buyer
will receive it along with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it in his name.
 
The transaction will be done through Ebay for our own protection, no money first to me. I am
registered with their secure trader department and they will handle the trade.
Your funds will be 100% insured by Ebay until you will receive and inspect the bike, and I will
be sure that I will receive the payment.
You will have 10 days from the time you receive the bike to inspect it and decide if you want to
keep it or not.
 
If you want to buy my bike then e-mail me:
Full name for the title,
Shipping address
 
As soon as I have this information I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you
about this. You'll also receive important guidelines + instructions from them (please go through
them exactly).
I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Rita Catoe

People, do your research before you send any money!!!! I almost got burnt.
