Update: Just got this e-mail back from "Betty"after about a week. Scam for sure!





Hi there,

First of all I want to thank you for your interest in my bike.This is a 2003 Harley-Davidson Softail FLSTS it's in perfect condition, it has 14,006 miles, never accidented, no scratches, no dents or hidden defects...it's just the way it looks it is.
I'm selling it at a low price because I just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this bike. Now as a women i don't need it.
From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20,000.00.
The final price that I want for this bike is $4,400.00 including shipping and handling.
If you are interested in buying it please provide me your FULL NAME and FULL ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER so I can notify eBay that you are selected as my buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

Here you have some details about this motorcycle:

Mileage: 14,006 miles
Engine size (cc): 1450
Type: Cruiser
Exterior color: Silver


I will wait your answer very soon.

I got the same reply. LOL. I replied back that I would only drive to Sandusky with cash and do the transfer at her local clerk's office.

 

Yup, Same letter I got on Fat Boy I saw on my local graigs list last summer. I wonder if anyone ever falls for it, I sure hope not.

 

I just clicked on the link, and it has been flagged for removal.

 

OMG! that is the exact same response I got when I contacted that person. I asked if the price was for real or a misprint. She sent the same email back...my one word reply was BULL$HIT. I ended up with a could not be delivered error, as they had blocked me at that point.
I knew if that was a legit add then that bike would have been sold as soon as they hit send to post the add.
I also was contacted by a buyer who was going to pay full price for my bike that I had for sale plus they were gonna pay for shipping. They apparently needed me to cash a money order for them in order to do so. Creeps.

 

Please say that aint so.

 

here's the vin # 1HD1BYB473Y073407.I'm very busy with my job and I'm often out of town so I can't meet in person with you and this is the reason why I opted to sell my bike over the internet.I work as a flight attendant for a private flight company.
now send me your full name full shipping address and phone # so I can open a case with eBay.After that you will receive a invoice from eBay with alll the neccessary steps to complete this transaction.
