DEAR SIR,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY.
I'M FROM EUROPE,ITALY AND THE BIKE IS LIKE NEW,ONLY 2000 MILES.
I AGREE TO SHIP THE BIKE TO YOU FIRST AND OFFER YOU 3 DAYS FOR INSPECTION+FREE SHIPPING AND INSSURANCE,BUT I NEED PROF YOU HAVE THE MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THE BIKE 3000$(2500EURO).
HERE IS HOW WE CAN MAKE THE DEAL:

YOU WILL SEND THE MONEY USING WESTERN UNION SERVICE TO MY ADDRESS IN ENGLAND,UK BUT TO ANY NAME YOU WANT,EVEN YOUR WIFE NAME SO THE MONEY WILL BE PROTECTED IN THE BANK ON YOUR WIFE NAME,I JUST NEED TO SEE YOU HAVE THE MONEY AVAILABLE.

AFTER THE TRNASFERE IS DONE,I WILL CHECK AND IF EVERYTHING IS OK I WILL SHIP THE BIKE TO YOU.

YOU WILL HAVE 3 DAYS TO TEST IT.

IF YOU WILL BE SATISFY WITH THE BIKE YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR WIFE NAME WITH MY NAME SO I CAN RECEIVE THE MONEY AND DEAL IS COMPLETE.

IF YOU WILL NOT BE SATISFY WITH THE BIKE YOU CAN SEND IT BACK ON MY COST AND CANCEL THE TRANSFERE ANYTIME YOU WANT.

THIS WAY YOU ARE 100% SAFE AND I WILL TAKE ALL THE RISK,BUT I'M A HONEST MAN AND I HAVE A GREAT TRUST IN PEOPLE.

i've ran into a lot of those guys on ebay. its hard to believe people actually buy into this stuff. don't they have a way of tracking these guys down when you wire it thru WU? how would they get away with this?

Patron_of_Wrath

Those are fairly common. I found a couple on cycletrader.com

TNathe

Clint

fuckin scammers

SwtBabyGirl

Maybe I am just not getting it... But how do they get your money if it's not in their name?

moldyhands

i've bought two bikes that way. if anyone believes that, they can buy one of my bikes, just leave an envelope full of cash in a park for me to pick up. (PM me for location and time). brand new zx-10r for only $50!!!

CBER

lol - would be funny if i say oh shit i have a family member live right next to u - they can pick it up..

Not sure about Italian addresses, BUT - I would think based on:

HERE ARE ALL DETIALS YOU NEED TO MAKE THE TRNASFERE:

NAME: YOUR WIFE NAME(OR ANY NAME YOU WANT)

ADDRESS: VIA F TURITI
MILANO 20035
EUROPE,ITALY

That the "VIA" could be "care of" and F turiti could be his name...
