I got the same thing only the guy changed what the item was. He still wanted the same price as the guy with the cr250.

It seems as though they are sending floods of emails to all the people on certain sites and I actually talked to a friend who got this scam played on him for golf clubs, I told him he was stupid for doing it but what can you say but tell friends about it so they don't get anything pulled on them.

Ya this one is everywhere. I have posted ads on ebay, recycler, offroad,glamis online, and race-dezert. I always have something for sale and have probably seen this scam ,(no joke) 50 times in the past year, with some variation. You just gotta be smart. If doesn't sound right, tell them to beat it. Also don't know if you guys saw on the news last week but a couple people had their cars stolen after posting in the auto trader.Theifs came over and they got jacked. Be real careful when you have something for sale. Keep the transaction simple.
