mahkotasports.com - 2011 Can-Am Outlander 800R EFI X xc

Yeah ok I was born at night but not last night.

6500 for an Outlander 800 X xc????

Yes I know it looks like a scam but I have searched around and have not found one person admit they plunked down their money and made a purchase from this overseas seller...
If you have or know someone who has lets hear about it.

Just dreaming but if this is legit it would be super sweet.
But then again I believe in unicorns.

Well, if you send some money their way, I'm a prince from a small African nation. I've been driven out of my country and need money to get at my stashed treasures in my native land. If you send me money I'll give you ten times more in return.

This kind of thing would be great if true, but, like you suspect, it's probably some idiot somewhere living off the scams he/she pulls. One day they'll meet their maker and have a lot of explaining to do.

Product Description
Please visit our company official site for more information and place your order directly from our site

mahkotasports.comPayment
Paypal / Telegraph Transfer

Take note where it says they accept Paypal and Wire transfers(aka western Union) lol.
Now, if I can call up paypal and convince them to give me 100% buyer protection when I order, then I might would try but I really doubt they would.

Im pretty sure thats a scam, I don't even know who would order from one of these sites without proof. Its a wonder it's still legal for people to scam like this.

Sadly, these types ads are out there because someone will send them money.

Worse, they probably vote too.

No pun intended, but I think an older folk just figuring out how to use a computer would fall for it. Or even someone just starting to explore the Internet, to the trained eye we know something is not right.
