Advertising in the Tulsa, OK Craigslist offering a motorcycle at a price that is way too good to be true. Seller claims the following:
This bike will make you proud, the price is $2,880. It is in excellent condition, never been involved in accidents, 1500cc, 16,703 miles, VIN: 1HFSC3435WA100951, clean and clear title, no mechanical problems, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, all functional and it will need nothing in the near future. I have the bike sealed at DAS terminal in Philadelphia, PA ready to be shipped out will take 4-5 days through DAS and it will be free, my previous buyer (his loan did not get approved) already paid for it and DAS didn't want to refund him the shipping fee. I cannot meet face2face I have a new job in Tucson, AZ I would like to use Autotrader Vehicle Purchase to take care of this deal, smooth and safe. Let me know if you have any other questions, hope i didn't miss anything. More pictures: here: http://picasaweb. Google.com/erpechere/HondavajkP? Authkey=Gv1sRgCKqGj-mc_7yzdg#slideshow/

Here is how it works if you have never used Autotrader. You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction. Autotrader contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process. You submit the payment to Autotrader, Autotrader confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment. I ship the bike which should be at your door within 5 business days. You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and Autotrader forwards
the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and
return the bike free of charge. Basicly Autotrader holds your money safe until you confirm that the bike is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal.
On the other hand I can ship the bike knowing Autotrader has your money
and you won't disappear with my bike. We are both covered. Sorry for the long
emails I have tried to touch all bases.
Thank you, Tim.
