Got a BIG one on the hook
OK I know most of you Harley junkies peruse Craigslist now & then, even if you're not in the market for a new sled. I do too. So I'm sure you're all familiar with the standard scam--Someone,usually a 'woman" is selling a beautiful Harley for a ridiculously cheap price--in this case a lo mile Fatboy for $1400.00. When you email them about it, they reply that they are selling it for their Son/ brother/ father whatever who is being deployed/dying/dead/whatever. The "bike" is usually in some shipping terminal in some far off city,waiting for Ebay transaction & they will ship you the bike. I recognize these immediately,as they are almost always worded the same, with incredibly bad English. Have been corresponding with "Melissa" in Lakeland Florida, who said the "bike" is in a shipping terminal in NYC,waiting to be delivered. Here is my reply to her on that "Melissa--I am actually from NY & have many friends there, one of whom will
come give you the funds in person & check out the bike. He is a NY police
officer,so you can trust him. What is your adress?" Rich
Do you think I'll hear from "her" again?

Nope! I did pretty much the same thing when selling a bike! They were going to send their agent over to pay for the bike and get it shipped! I sent an email telling them that their agent could pick it up from my agent at the FBI! Never heard another word

I used to love the ones that advertised free shipping from Europe.
