Hmmm... if sounds to good to be true... applies here.

Have you ever noticed that car dealers frequently post prices in their ads when the fine print says "after a trade in or cash down payment of $3000" in otherwords not the real price... seems like it should be illegal, but is very commonplace practice in our area.

If this is real, I'll buy it, have the local dealer check it out, arrange for a shipper, and sell it on the Board.

My guess is that it's a scam - we'll see.

The ad has been flagged for removal--but not by me.

Let us know what you find out if you were able to contact them about it.

Ads for cars, motorcycles, and the like on craigslist for prices such as $3,999, and other similar prices under $4K that are obviously worth way more than that are almost ALWAYS 100% fraudulent.

The reason they use amounts below $4,000 is due to government reporting of cash, wires, or monetary instruments (cashier's checks and money orders).

I am an anti-money laundering specialist and I know all too well about schemes like this.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! nojoke

Different kind of scam - Oh, that should have been $14,000. That was AFTER two "you gotta come & see this bike!!!!!!"

Scam is a scam..
