What ever happend to Tar and Feathering or looking for the nearest tall tree. Why do we let this stuff go on. Scammers are right down there with roaches. Nasty little critters and they are everywhere.

Guess what amazes me most is that the OP actually 'believed' it was a great deal.

We'll in the OP's defense, at least he asked before sending any money (at least I hope you did not send money)

I'm sorry for the delay in my response but I have a lot of work in casino.I can't call you due the casino policy.Here on the cruise ship the dealers have prohibited to use the phone.The bike is already at the shipping company in San Diego - California,created and ready for the shipping.The shipping process will take between 5-8 days, depending on your location.
I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them.As I said in the first email I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship and I can't come and bring you the bike, so that's why I am using a shipping company.
Since this is an online transaction I wanted the both of us to be safe so for this deal I am using eBay Purchase Protection, and that means that you have 5 days from the time you receive the bike to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it works:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay Purchase Protection.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices.Your will make the payment to eBay and the funds will be 100% insured by eBay Purchase Protection.
4.eBay Purchase Protection will contact me and I will ship the bike to you. After you receive the bike you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the bike.If you will buy it, then I will receive the payment from eBay.Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the bike and make sure everything is as agreed.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy the bike,eBay will refund you and I will have the shipping company come pick up my bike. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.
If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed.
Come on now. You're pulling our leg, right. You can't possibly believe this is legit. I'll bet the bike is about half price too.
