I wonder how many they sucker in....My boss answered an ad in the local paper for a 2008 Harley ..don't know Harleys but it was a big one fully dressed....for $8500($20,000 BIKE) the bike was in CANADA...I warned him SCAM...he had several email exchanges with the guy and the seller had no objections to him flying up and looking at it in person..so it started to sound legit...the guy claimed he was recently divorced and only wanted what he owed on it...then my boss made arrangements for the seller to drop it at a HD dealer in the same town as him to have them check it out and ship it to INDIANA..The guy never responded.So it was either a scam or the HD shop bought it.

I actually sent an email about the motorhome, saying hey you got your price wrong or something, scammer came back with sob story about a womens husband dying, but she's leaving next day, so send western union money to NV, told them nope don't use that. plus they tried to play it off as an EBAY trust and security group. with a website ending in .org. as if that was not my first clue. Anyhow glad to see the ads are not showing now.
