Here is a killer deal available on an 05 FJR at craigslist.com in Orange County. Big time SCAM here. What's your opinions on these Scammers? Here is the craigslist link.

Craigslist Link for 05 FJR 1300

Here is his reply whe I emailed him about it:

Hi,

the bike is in great condition, it has been properly maintained, never been dropped or abused in any way. It has clear title and the price I'm selling it for is $2980, which is including all the shipping charges.

I live in orange county but currently I am with work in UK, London for the next approximately 7 months. Anyway, there shouldn`t be any problem, because I`m using MoneyBookers services so I can sell the bike without difficulty.

I left the bike at their warehouse before leaving to the UK. They will take care of the delivery. There`s a 14-day return policy so you will have the chance to test, inspect and ride it before final decision.

So if you want to purchase it, drop me a line and I will explain you how MoneyBookers works and how we can move forward.

I am waiting your email.

Thanks

That is cut and paste even down to the price from 100 other Craigslist ads.

P.S. $2900 is usually code for scam when it's a screaming deal. For some reason they like that price.

You even need to ask? What grade are you in?

Just kidding.

Helen Keller could see that is a scam.

I do realize this is a scam but wanted to share this GREAT deal with everyone to let others be aware. I cant tell you the number of email I recieved when I was selling my BMW motorcycle and people would say I will wire you the money all you have to do is take the bike over to there shipper and they will ship it. I would also get them saying please send me a photo of your car for sale. (CAR) also they would ask for photo's, which I had plenty of photo's in the add, and then they would ask for my best price. I responed to a few saying that the drivers side window does not work and I hope that wouldn't be a problem. Had one even respond and say that would be fine because he had a friend that could fix it. So beware of these types of adds. Like the addage goes "If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.""

 
You get a few ignition failures on the Gen IIs, and the freakin' bottom falls out of the resale value. Sheesh.

 
I am so for looking to have *** with you and your billfold, yes? Nipple heads to fuggin' stoopud to learn the language they are trying to steal in LOL.

BUT ---- It must be working as they have to pay for the "throw away" cel phones -- and they keep doing it -- My guess is that someone looking for a "great" deal will send $$$$.

Remember --- one every minute
