For those of you trying to sell your bikes BEWARE!!!!
I posted an ad on Craig's list for mine, just for shits and giggles and received what appeared to be very a convincing response from a buyer.
This is a SCAM of epic proportions using Pay Pal logo's and all.
Bottom line if anyone asks to send them money first DON'T EVER DO IT.
Here are some of the E-mails I received.
Note that they wanted me to send the charges of $2500.00 to someone in ILL. out of my account before they would release the balance into my Pay Pal account. though the Pay pal logo doesn't show here, they do in my original receive E-mail. They look very real but they are not!!!!
You've got new funds!
