Found this guy on the Jacksonville Craigslist with an offer too good to be true. You just have to follow up though. Just be skeptical the whole time. As soon as I read that he lived in AZ, the bike is in PA, and he listed it in Jacksonville, I knew something was up. So, I cross referenced his name with the email he used and found this site. Very cool tool in combating scams. I got the same email everyone else did.
In a case like this I'd insist on using escrow.com to keep the transaction safe, but after reading this, I'm sure there never was a bike in the first place. Ah well, we can still dream can't we ;)

Hello,
The price is $2850.
This bike is a real 'head turner' and it will make you proud, it is in excellent condition, never been involved in accidents, only 5,800 miles, VIN: JH2SC57017M301874 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.
