Ohhhh I know that ad too well. When I was shopping for my Dog, I found this ad about 2 days before I was going to pick the one I have up. I emailed the guy and it is definately a rip!!! The guy responded tellin me to send money to an account called "moneybookers" and he would have the bike shipped. Well I emailed him back and told him he wasnt getting any money till I planted my ass on the seat, and heard it run first. Tried to set up a meeting with him and he pulled the "oh Im out of the country and my daughter is the only one home" bit. Sent him another email and told him I would meet his daughter (NO WISECRACKS LOL) and see the bike. Never got an email back....
However, I did flag his ad to craigslist and then found the same ad back again on another listing in Texas..LOL. Needless to say he got flagged again..lol.
The whole kicker is that on the first reply the guy sent me back he sent the VIN# along with other details. If most couldnt tell Im a "law dog" so I go to work after the fact and run the vin# and it didnt even exist!!! Suprise, suprise!!!
An invitation to all my brothers and sisters here if you come across a deal and they give you a VIN or anything to that nature let me know. Ill do some lookin and see what I can find.
