We received EXACTLY the same messages from rickallen1950 regarding my sons bike-very pushy about getting the deal done asap. Thank you thank you for saving us from getting involved.
I received a text from 570-805-0062 the text read: "I saw ur ad, Am ready to offer u additional 700 to ur asking price for the Bike. pls respond by email me ASAP on: rickallen1950 gmail.com Rick"
I replied in an email that it was still avaiable.
Rick's reply was this:
"Hi Mate
just thinking you might have had some buyer's interested in buying your bike and i think the best way to outbid them is by offering you additional 700 to your asking price on the ad, Well am actually purchasing it for my Brother at home to have something to move around with when am not available but i won't be available to come for the inspection my self due to where i am presently . I do have a pick-up agent that will be contacting you on where and when the pick-up will take place after have completed the payment my self .
If you don't mind can you please tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition,how often you do the servicing and the history ? I will be waiting for your response then if we come to an agreement i will proceed with the payment immediately
Rick"
This looks like a scam to me but I will keep you guys posted.
Good to hear from you again
I'm a very busy man in regards to the Bike am very much interested in buying it and paying for it right away so you don't have to look around for any other buyer for it. I'm actually buying it for my Brother at home in Ontario as a surprise, But before i can send it to him i have to make sure the Bike is in a good condition . I hope you understand my point that there is no way i come to do the inspection of the bike my self as have said earlier besides the Bike will be picked up and transported to Ontario where my Parents stays, So whatever you tell me about the good and the bad aspect of the Bike is what i will believe and also inform the Pick-up agent that will be coming over to pick the Bike
After have completed the payment the agent will contact you about where and when the pick up will take place and they will also be of assistance to do the change of ownership when they get there. but before i proceed with the Payment is there is any problem which you're yet to mention that i should know , please let me know now meanwhile can you please please take the add off online now till we complete the transaction and please send me your PayPal email and i will make the Payment right now
