I was contacted through email about the person who wanted to buy my bike. my triumph, i thought great, he sent a cashiers check with more money then i asked so i could forward it to a shipping company. well this is all a scam. and it ****ing sucks. here how it worked. they recieve the 3 grand for shipping that a check was sent to them. and the money i had cashed and mostly spent already seemed fine. yesterday i recieve an email from my bank, claiming the cashiers check was a counterfiet and my account has been drained to cover there losses...the entire check, nearly 10 grand. the bank claimed it as my responsibilty. im in iraq currently so i contaced my jag officer, he said yep the bank is right, its right in the member agreement. so i got ****ed in the *** on this whole thing, mean while i still owe the bank about 3g's. meanwhile i'm in a war zone. just lovely. the fbi agent that contacted my parents said this is a huge scam i was unaware, so just to let you guys in on it if you didnt already know. i still have the bike, because they never come for it, just get the money you forward for shipping.

 

so you still have the bike? This is a old scam sorry you got taken bro

 

yea i still have the bike, thats the part of the scam that gets you, the ****er sent an email requesting an additional 2g's...my dad has been on the phone with the secret service, there going to investigate the whole thing. i feel like i was raped..lol but i'll be around not too much longer to meet you guys and do some riding, if i have money to buy gas..

 

Same thing happened to a friend of mine, bank calls a few days later and sorry the cashiers check was a fake and youre screwed

 

You fell for it? Damn, sorry man..

 

It could be worse... if you had already shipped the bike!
