I also posted an add on kijiji. The same guy responded. I went by the place and it looked vacant but was during the day. I only sent 250 and got told he was sending the keys. I than got an e-mail today saying his wife was upset as she was on a trip. He wanted me to send the rest of the deposit and first months before i got the keys.
We were both buying the bike at the same time. I sent you a personal e-mail. I got suspious when they wanted the money sent via money gram to a privvate name, not a company, no invoice number or company name and phone number. Also the motorcycle moving company had way too many grammerical errors. It had the feel of them being foreigners as they tried to use the expression safe and sound, but said it backwards. I really trust the Lord and I am sooooooooo thankful that He led me to farther look into it and I'm thankful that so many of you stopped prior to purchasing..... nothing.
By the way, my letter from the owner was identical to all the other's too.
The Lord will deal with them........I'm not sweating it, but I will pass the word around.
I found the ad in a small town newspaper in Oklahoma, seemed funny it was free, however I just thought it was wrecked. So I sent the guy an email, and got the exact same message as the rest of you. I happen to have a dear friend in Jersey, so instead of contacting the "motorcycle moving company" I just told the guy I have a friend who can come by and pick it up until I can get up there this spring. He has yet to reply, and I have a pretty good feeling he never will.
I just responded to the same ad in SW Florida, same story same song and dance.
I thought it was a scam, just sounded too good to be true.
Same names ,same towns, same BS.
Hopefully someone will catch them.
