Hello there,

First of all you must know that right now I'm located in Edmonton, Canada and the unit
will be shipped from here. Here are some details about the Rhino.
It has been never damaged. The asking price is $3500 US, shipping included. All the manuals and the original
documentation come along with the unit. You will receive it in
3-4 working days by DAS at your home address.The payment is fully refundable. If for any reason you do not accept the atv or if it has scratches, hidden defects, or it is not as
advertised I will even pay for the shipping back to my location if you
reject it but i'm sure that it will won't happen cause it works and
looks perfectly.
Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorised third party like Ebay, using their Vehicle Purchase Protection Program.
So, in order to move forward with the deal please reply with your full name and shipping address. I will forward your infos to ebay and they will send you an invoice regarding our deal.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you,
Greg

Nice!! My girlfriend got almost exactly the same. We found a brand new 2006 Yamaha Grizzly 660cc on Kijiji for $3200, my girlfriend e-mailed the seller about it and got an almost identical response -

These scammers are getting worse and worse, firstly note the stupid price, then the rubbish English in the e-mail, then where he says that the bike is in Galveston, Texas but the advert is placed on Kijiji for Ottawa, Canada, then do a search on Google for '2006 Yamaha 660 Grizzly 4x4 Utility ATV' and see how many results it returns, it's funny how the same bike can be from half of the world.

 

yeah ... It's a good thing I didn't trust it! Scammer ... didn't even reply when I asked him for his VIN and a scan of his bill of sale.

I feel sorry for the people who fall for this, not that I can even think what the guy would do with your name and shipping address :S Going through eBay is safe enough so that can't be the issue.
