Default Watcha' Think SCAM?

Watcha' Think SCAM?

My buddy said the asking price he heard was $4800

To see all the pictures click here: http://tinypic.com/a/19sig/4 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON FAT BOY SOFTTAIL, Mileage 4,731 miles, VIN 1HD1BX5157Y048810, Engine 96 CI, Engine size (cc):1573, Transmission 6 SPEED, Drivetrain BELT DRIVE, Fuel Type Gasoline, Exterior Color Silver, Vehicle title: Clear and free. My brother is in the hospital where he had some medical investigations 2 weeks ago. Last week we found out he has cancer. I'm in the process of moving my brother to Eastern Regional Medical Center in PA where they gave us some hope. I want to sell the bike and shipp ASAP it because I want to be able to concentrate on my brother's problem.For making this a lot more easier and faster I would like to use Yahoo Finance to complete this transaction.This service allows us to complete the transaction quick and safe for both of us. It acts like a third party between seller and buyer, to insure that the buyer receives the item and the seller receives the payment. If you want to buy the bike, get back to me and I'll tell you how it works.

PS: I can ship you the bike for $450, it will be delivered in 4 days; you'll pay the shipping fees when you'll receive it .

Ya, its a common scam, they sell for less the 5K so if they get busted its only a misdemeanor.

Ask them if you can come pick it up with cash and see what they say.

E-mail him and tell him you live a couple of hours away and want to look at it and are willing to pay cash if it's as advertised and he has title in hand. That'll give you the answer to your question.

This is a fairly common scam.
Don't send them any $$!

I just seen an add like that in our local paper last week. It only ran for 2 days.
The add I saw was shorter but key word was "crisis"
Contact info was newspaper email and voice mail.
