I friend of mine is looking for a FJR and spotted this ad. He has had several e mails back and forth with the seller but is unable to get him to find a time that he can come and see it. Here is some of an e mail.

*****************************************************************************************

I have been stringing this guy along for a week. I want to see the bike, he has an excuse, I offer to pay him on the spot, he has another excuse.

Some of his emails back to me:

just mail me back with the delivery address you want me to shipp the bike to for you so i can let you know how much you will have to pay for both shipping and for the bike payment

the bike is still available and the price is $400 and i dont accept money order of cheque but cash and if you are coming to pick it up you have to deposite the have payment of the money to cos i have some one demanding for it but mean that you contact me first so let me know what you are really doing about it so i can give you the information to send the money to me

I wouldn't give him a penny unless you see the bike. I got scammed once via eBay and it was a very expensive lesson.

TOTAL SCAM!! $400 wouldn't cover the farkles he has listed. I ran into close to the same thing, but on E-Bay. Same kind of scenario to, guy would never to me where and when I could come and pick the bike up, and pay him in person.

 

[Geezer]

SCAM!

 

[Greg E.]

No doubt it's a ripoff!!!

 

[C&C]

If the bike is as advertised and the cost was $4,000, it would have been a scam.

 

[chornbe]

Any legit deal won't seem so fishy. The rule of "If you have to ask..." seems to work, here.

 

[MikeYork5]

Oh sure --- it's legit ---- $400 for an 'O5 -- if the guy has 2 I'll take one! (do you really have to ask?)

 

[Xbrit]

If you believe that, then I've got a bridge to sell you cheap!!

Aha!

So you're the guy that keeps sending me those emails!

 

[FJR919]

Absolutely a scam. Nothing about the ad or his contacts suggests that he's legitimate.

 

[SAFJ-rider]

Scam :angry2:

broken english and such sounds very scam to me

 

[Dudewado]

If your friend even considered this, It's no wonder these guys never give up the scams.

 

[user 213]

Of course it's a scam. If it sounds too good to be true, it's a SCAM.

Not even an idiot would sell an undamaged FJR for $400. Greed tends to kick in if nothing else. $4k would make me ask "Why so cheap" and "What's wrong with it". $400 and I'd not bother to respond.

Tell your friend to have fun stringing him along, but don't EVEN think about sending him any money.

 

[zorkler]

would you sell i bike thats worth 10k for 400 bucks

"Oh sorry, I forgot the title, uh...I'll sign it and send it to you next week, ok?"

"Sure you can use my plates for awhile, afterall I'm not gonna ride it."

"The key doesn't work too well, I just twist these two wires together' it's kinda like a hidden security system!"

Tell him to send you his address and I'll fly down, buy the bike after inspection from myself and a couple of guys I know from Chicago. If I fly there and the bike is a rip off my guys from Chi town will ask him to refund our money....politely of course. I actually did this (asked for the address and I'd come to see a bike along with phone number) never heard from the guy again. This Scam smells so bad you need a couple of Tampax to shove up your nose.
