Yeah, with the advent of sites like ebay and the large amount of selling that goes on via the net people are really trying to rip you off. Lots of scams.

It is kind of hard to sell something these days because of it.

I wonder if one of the moderators could put up a sticky or something like it about these scams. Just to keep it at the top and let people see all about this. Just might help someone out.

Default Anatomy of an Internet scam!!!!

I almost got myself screwed in an atv scam on ebay. There was a guy from the BC of Canada. He was selling a brand new YFZ and it was like 12 hrs away from closing and at like 3000.00 for it. So i emailed him and asked him what he would sell it to me now for. He emailed back and said 4800, i emailed back and said i would take it. I had him send me the VIN#, once i got it i just typed in the number in google and hit search. What do you know a different YFZ for sale on atvtrader from Portugal was selling a used one with the same VIN#. I always thought in the back of my head this is probably a scam but you never know i could get lucky and get a good deal. I was never planning on sending him money like he wanted to, that would be just dumb. Damn, for 4800 i would drove all the way over there and got it. There are way to many scams on both ebay and atvtrader for me to even look anymore, pi$$es me off.
