HELLO

BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT A SELLER THAT CLAIMS TO HAVE A MOTOR CYCLE FOR SALE AT A PRICE THAT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE.I ENCOUNTERED THIS WHEN I FOUND A BIKE THAT WAS JUST A SUPER DEAL. I ASK THE SELLER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE BIKE AND COULD I SEE PICTURES OF BOTH SIDES OF THE BIKE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT WRECKED. HE SENT ME MORE PICTURES. HIS NEXT EMAIL STATED THAT I WAS TO SEND HIM A MONEY ORDER FOR HALF THE COST OF THE BIKE TO AN ADDRESS HE PRESENTED TO ME. HE STATED THAT ONCE HE RECEIVED THE MONEY THAT HE WOULD RELEASE THE BIKE FROM THE EBAY WAREHOUSE WHERE IT WAS AWAITTING SHIPMENT. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS NOT SURE ABOUT THIS. I SAID IF I DID NOT PAY THAT HE WOULD REPORT ME AS A NON PAYING BIDDER.I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NOT BID ON THE BIKE I JUST ASKED FOR MORE PICTURES. I REPORTED THIS TO EBAY. I WENT BACK ON MOTORCYCLES AND NOTICED THE SHOP SURROUNDINGS AND WENT LOOKING AND FOUND THE SAME BIKE IN ANOTHER PICTURE. I CONTACTED THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT A PERSON HAD BEEN IN HIS SHOP A FEW DAYS BEFOR AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE BIKE TO SHOW HIS WIFE. I CALLED THE CITY INFORMATION OPERATOR FOR THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE SELLER AND THERE WAS NO LISTING FOR THIS PERSON. THE ADDRESS HE GAVE ME WAS TO A CLOSED BUSINESS WHERE MAIL WAS STILL BEING DELIVERED..POINT IS IF THE DEAL SEEMSJUST TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, CHECK IT OUT VERY CAREFULLY, AND IF THEY SAY THEY WILL SELL IF BEFOR THE AUCTION ENDS REPORT IT TO EBAY ASAP. YES SOME PEOPLE SENT MONEY AND GOT SCAMED.. TOM RTW-WORKS
