Dude, I got that exact same email today from the exact same guy. wording was exactly the same too...word for word...just replace warrior with predator!! I don't think I will touch that one. I've been getting emails from overseas guys saying that they can pay for it, but can only cash a cashiers check for $10,000, then I have to send back the difference. Too many fishy things going on out there..I don't know what the game is but I don't like it. I think I will just stick to a face-to-face transaction...even though I may have to wait longer!!

I'm willing to bet "Mr. Smith" wanted you to send the pictures and info so that he could post it on ebay as his, and get someone to send him money for nothing.

You should send him pictures of a breeze, say its a 3 cylinder, and fuel injected, see if the dummy posts it on ebay!LOL!

Same description different name,, this guy wanted to by my zl900 Eliminator,,said he was a vet,, some guy in the states owed him some money,, was going to talk to his boss about the money,, he will send a check and wanted me to send 250.00 from 5,000.00
check he was going to send me and send to the transfer company to have the bike shipped,,, He said that the check is on the way.
I have been sending all e-mails to US Postal inspector. I will send the check also...

i dont get it. is he saying he will mail you the money, then you ship him the quad? if so, how would that be a scam?
aslong as you get the money, then he gets the quad. i might of read it wrong though.

he will send you a worthless check and then you will send him a refund of good money and he will have your quad and your money and you will be out of luck. hope this helps somebody.
