Gentleman from Klaten in Indonesia, its on Java, has old harleys for sale (sic).
Sends over some amazing pictures and claims to be a motor cycle mechanic, sends you a picture of his identity card, no 331002020800003. You would not beleave how good the motorcyles look. Naturally this starts the alarm bells ringing. Prices, $6,000 for a 1941 wla seem cheap but hey you have import duties shipping etc so could be believable!
Story starts to break down whn you are told that bikes are not registered, strange when one has a registration number (indonesian) visible. Told that you will get full police certificate etc.
Engine numbers have strange perculiarities, but could just be a typo?
He sends a picture of his Garage, it seems rather large for such a small town?
But the Bikes do look wonderful...
So you ask the questions, Name me a customer that you have supplied in europe or states? Whats the name of the shipping agent? Send me a picture of you by the bike!
No more replies!!! Be Warned.
I am filing this since I read that someone has filed a report about a con-artist in Yogikarta using a similar scam. Klaten is a 1 hour train journey away!
