I was an ad on 6/5/8 for "2005 Honda CBR 1000 RR Chrome 5743 miles $2400.00" Ad on Kijiji.com", the bike looked great and the price? Too good to be true. I contacted the seller via email and this is what followed:
1st email:
Hello,
First of all, let me introduce myself: my name is Gregory Lukin and I work as an engineer on a oil rig.
Now let me introduce the bike I'm selling:
2005 Honda CBR 1000RR. Very clean bike, like new, with only 5743 miles. The price is $2400.
Here you can find more pics:

I'm selling the bike because I have recently moved to Alaska (due to the nature of my job) and I was unable to carry it with me.
Also, I wouldn't have time or the conditions to ride it anymore.
Since I didn't have the time to sell the bike before moving, I left it back home, in the custody of a shipping company: VEHICLE-CARRY
The bike was inspected by them and it is ready to be sold and shipped.
Please visit the following link to see how this service works and also to verify that the bike is in their custody, clear and clean, and ready to go:
Http://www.vehicle-carry.com
You can use this link: http://www.vehicle-carry.com/Tracking.php and then enter the following tracking number: OHYF14291402 - then you will see all details about the bike.
If you decide to close the deal, the shipping company will act as a third party, you will send the money to VEHICLE-CARRY, they will ship it to you and the bike will arrive to your door in 72 hours.
You can choose up to 30 days for inspection period. VEHICLE-CARRY will secure your deposit during the inspection period, and they will release the funds to me only when the inspection period will be over and you will confirm that you don't intend to return the bike.
The shipping fees will be covered by me and deducted by the shipping company from the price of the bike, at the end of the transaction.
If you agree to these terms, please let me know so we can start the transaction.
Best Regards,
Gregory Lukin

Ok, sounds promising right? Well I checked out the web site and again everything looked fine. I then agree to the purchase and give him my #asked to get his to start the sale process, I got this email next: Hi,
Im sorry but I dont have a phone line avaible here on the oil rig. Sorry
The only line avaible its an emergency line that my boss wont let me use it for personal stuff
As I said I cant ride the bike here and I also have some debts to my bank and I have to pay them fast
And after all the bike is a gift from my exwife so I dont really care its going for so low
The bike is at Vehicle Carry warehouse in Houston, TX and will be shipped from there It has been inspected by their mechanics and it is in perfect condition
Bike is already crated and ready to go with the shipping fee already paid. So the pick up isnt an option
Title, keys and all original accessories will be sent to you along with the bike
All you have to do is to start the transaction
You can choose up to 30 days for inspection period. This means you can inspect (test ride also) the bike for 1 MONTH before you decide if you keep it or not
If for any reason you are not satissfied you will be fully refunded no questions asked
Let me know
Thanks
