I'm not sure what you would want (expect) Cycle Trader to do with this information. It's your responsibility to make sure a seller pays for the goods- not theirs. But hopefully this will make some gullible people more aware- If you don't have a cashiers check, I would always wait about a week to make sure the funds clear- just common sense.
And there's a million FAKE cashiers checks out there to.Can't trust those now days.

My friend just went through this on cars.com. I guy wanted to buy his car sight unseen. He was willing to pay the full amount plus a little extra. In return he would have to send him $1,000 via Western Union in order for the shipper to be compensated.
I asked my friend to give me his number so I could have a little fun. We went back and forth all day and then I let him wait a while and then let him know what a scum he was. Excuse my language lol, once he said that I intended to steal from him, I lost it a little
He never responded back after the last text.

When I was trying to sell the Heritage,
some clown from craigslist was trying to
pull something.
Was overseas, etc.
but said he lived local.
Wanted my bank info for a $ transf to buy it sight
unseen.
Uh . . . NO !!

I bought my boat and my Harley through Craigslist. Both sellers were genuinely surprised that I came down from Canada with cash and completed legitimate sales transactions.
And thanks to the original poster. Any reminder of these scamming a-holes is a good thing.
I need to remind myself to never screw around with Johnny G. He's pretty handy on the texting.
I got a call from a scammer telling me that my computer was infected with a virus and that I needed to turn it on and let them clear it. I fished him for about 15 minutes before getting a little racist on his a$$. Gotta find these guys and throw their a$$es in jail.
