Default Time to have fun with a scammer

I placed this auction on my watch list yesterday because it was listed as the white Honda 200X that has been used in numerous scam attempts before. Well, I sent the "seller" a nice email about him being a scumbag thief and how stupid he was to use such an obvious ATV. So today, he totally changed the ad to a 2005 Sportsman 700 with a BIN of $3000. He even lists an email address and says "no time wasters" right after it. HAHAHA! Let's have some fun with this low life. Here's the email address listed in case Ebay cancels the auction:

hehe I sent a polite email myself.

When I was looking to buy my quad I came across a similar add on cycletrader. Guy was in "england" but the quad was in SC. I couldn't come look at it but he'd ship it for free.

Told him the MO was in the mail..... NOT!!!

I can't beleive Ebay let's these people stay on listings for so long. I got ripped by some guy in China. That was a Month ago and he is still listing things. By the way, enjoy Korea while your there. I spent three years there and met my wife in Chun Chon.

Hello,


I received your e-mail about my 2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin EFI . The ATV is in perfect working condition, with no damage at all, the title is clear. Only 300 miles. Total price with shipping included is $3,000.
I was recently promoted at Deaf-Mute Association of N.Y.D.M. so I had to move in France with my wife and kids. We brought the ATV with us but we don't have time for it anymore and we want to buy a house here so we decided to sell it. For our protection I want to make the transaction thru eBay Motors. You will have 15 days to inspect the ATV before I will receive the payment from them.
In this way we will be 100% protected. If you still are interested please reply.
I`m waiting for your reply.


Best Regards,
Travis Hooper
hehee thats the response I got from this tool. So to have fun with him while ebay eats his *** a new one I told him I was local and could only pay cash to avoid tax's. This should be a riot when he emails me back.

I hate fawkers like this

How dumb is that guy for trying to sell a new sportsman 700 for $3000. you can tell its fake because no one in there right mind would sell an atv worth atleast 5000 for 3000. When i checked out the ad it said the bidding was over.
