I looking through out sites only for a motorcycle and found a 2002 Honda CBR 954RR with 10917 miles for 3,000. Ralph Muller was selling the bike and told me to go to www.extrafreight.com For the payment process. He said extrafreight was a third party freight company that would hold the money I would send for the bike until I received it and inspected it. I went to the site which looked secured, instructions told me to go to Western Union and send the 3,000 for the bike to a representative from their company whom which I never heard of. Then I was to give the freight company the MTCN (money transfer control number) so they would know I really did the transaction. Once I gave them the number they were to contact the shipper of the bike (Ralph Muller) and tell him they had the money and for him to ship me the bike. After I was to receive the bike I was to contact the freight company and tell them to release the funds.
When I went to Western Union I sent a transfer for 3,000 to a name of a man and an address I never heard of then went home. Fifteen minutes after I got home I received a call from a Western Union Rep. She explain to me of all the fraud cases they have recently had with purchase over the Internet. Usually when someone purchase an item the money should be transferred to the company not a name of an employee that susposely works there. The Western Union rep. Explain that I should investigate this company before I go ahead with the transaction because there was no way that they could get my money back if I didn't receive the bike.
After, canceling the money transfer I went back online and discovered that the address the freight company gave me to send the money to was a travel agency in London. Also I emailed them with my concerns and they never replied. I also emailed the seller Ralph Muller several times explaining what was happening and that if he was selling this bike I would drive to pick it up, he never replied.
This bike is still in many online advertisements that were just recently place: Ca$h-In with The Free Garage Sale Classifieds, BikersPlanet.net, Colorado's FREE Classifieds, Motorcycle Classifieds at Free Motorcycle Classifieds.com, ECT. There are tons of sites this person is on trying to sell this fake bike. Please, Do some research before purchasing and please do not send money Western Union because like the representative told me there is nothing they can do if you never receive your merchandise. I hope this helps!
