hey a few months back i was on ebay and find a bike in london for a smokin deal because of the exchange rate. i talked to the guy for awhile got all the info copies of everything and sent a down payment never heard from him again, has this happened to anybody else??

 

sorry to say it man but u got ebay scammed ... its the most popular scam right now where people have money sent over seas and expect to see a bike but it never happens ... just search around its the latest and greatest scam for scammers

sorry to hear about your lost

 

yeah thanks, luckily it was a small deposti, but thats now a small deposit i dont have to buy a bike. i defiantly did my research i didnt just send money, i had copies of the titles and everything a notarized contract, but it was all b/s

 

go look on ebay right now...u will find a ton of situations exactly like yours...if its too good to be true it is...the bikes on here are so cheap cause they are all phucked up haha

 

Did you contact ebay or anything telling them the seller screwed you?

 

how much did you lose?

 

i lost a decent amount which id rather not say, i contacted ebay and they suck and never responded, i contacted the money gram company that i wired the money through and found out where the money was picked up and at what times then contacted the london police by phone and through email and gave them all the details and info i had and no one ever responded back to me about anything, they could have atleast sent me a message back saying they werent going to investigate it, but youd think that with so much of this going on on ebay that they would be trying to catch this guy. the bikes that i looked at i saw back on ebay like 4 days after i new i got scammed, theyve been ont here 3 times since then and the same thing has happened they are on and they they are taken off, so i knwo this has happened to more people that just me. was just lookn for a way to pick up a cheap bike because of the exchange rate they are dirt cheap, instead i lost my money.

 

NEVER...I MEAN NEVER DEAL WITH ANY COMPANY OVERSEAS!!! THaT SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST INDICATION OF FRAUD RIGHT THERE......

Take a look at this email I received today...this is just one of three. They are out to catch the dumb, ignorant, & gulable folks like yourself .

How about I hunt you down and kick your ****ing *** just for even thinking about ripping me off. I hope you fall in front of a moving truck tomorrow and have a slow death. As you can tell I hate con-artists like yourself.

Die Now,

Jimmy

 

thast funny

 

Damn bro.. sorry about ur lost ... but did you ever think about the shipping and Duties and taxes charges?

I hate ebay and sometimes i rather pay more in person then buy cheaper on ebay.

 

might as well tell us how much, it will make you feel better haha

 

dude.. its not one guy.. there are TONS of ppl doin this...

lmao@slow death thats great...

yeah.. im with covert on this one.. just tell us how much it was. you will sleep better at night... i promise

 

Redline Jimmy: Thats is amazing, I laughed my *** off

 

the shipping and everything was all worked out in the deal, i had a notarized bill of sale from the seller, copies of the titles of the two bikes everything, i ran the numbers on the bikes and the numbers both came up as out of us and the bikes both existed so i really though nothing of it, then i got fauked. i know exactly where the moneygrams were picked up at which location so i would love to try to set this guy up and get him bagged. im still lookn for a bike though, so if anyone has anything in the new hampshire mass area let me know, im kickn my self in the a$$ for seln my old bike, lookiin to spend relatively cheap money id like to be around 3 grand or a little more. if anyone knows of anything let me know. got cash.!

 

Fly down and drive it back

If you wire me the money to my overseas account I can get you a 04 Gixxer 1000 for $3,000. The title is clean and has factory warrenty on it.

Wire the money to: Youragulabledillweed@msc.com

 

Get someone to contact the dude via e-mail if u still can, someone out of ur state would look better, setup a deal tell tha euro police or whatever, start cathing these fools........

 

Yeah Im Gona Try I Check Ebay All The Time But Dont See Any Of His Stuff, My Ebay Account Got Shut Off Because Someone Tired And Managed To Hack Into My Account So My Account Has Been Shut Off For A Good 3 Months Now.
