Default I got a scam i think

He does not even want the quad,,,He wants you to deposit the money and then write him a real check or wire money to him or is account name with the shipper,,,So you get a bad check plus what the bank charges you for a bounced check and you are out
the money that was sent to the shipper for the quad...he made 250.00 by sending e-mails...

He tries to et you to send the money first, then he never sends you the check, or he sends you a bunk check. To finish you off, he'll more than likely use your quad info,(pics, description), to scam somebody else out of some money. These scams have been going on for a while, and the FBI has actually busted some of these lowlifes.

From what I hear, the checks sent look real AND YOUR Bank even shows them as cashed in your account. It isn't until about 3-weeks later when the check finally makes its rounds that your account is deducted the amount of the check. If you try to scam the scammer don't cash the check and expect the funds to be there in a few weeks. If the funds are foreign currancy and the dollar drops in value you will owe more than the check!!!

I agree with the post above. Send a picture of something like a Breeze. They will probably use your Warrior description so if they post the picture in the future on eBay hopefully people will be wise to it.

To bad there isent a way to find the people trying these scams. Chase them down the street with your quad and see how it feels to be slamed. Everybody needs to look out for selling and buying scams. THIS IS BS

Tell them to Western Union you a 500.00 deposit. I was checking on a Rincon at atvtaderonline, that was listed in San Antonio. The guy said he was a mute, and needed all communication by e-mail. Later he says he's out of town, but if I would send a 500.00 deposit he would come back in town. Yea right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. We did a security check and this guy is in th New York area.

I got an email from a guy this week asking about my Grizzly for sale on atvtraderonline.com. I said it wasn't for sale. So I check the link he sent and sure enough, some dipwad had MY pictures of MY grizzly on his ad. Guess how much he wanted? 3500 bux. Imagine that!

Anyways, this brainsurgeon didn't even bother to take the watermarks off that had my URL! LMAO.. what an idiot!!!

I called the site and they removed the ad on the spot. I got screen shots though, it was funny.

The Oregon Attorney Generals office issued a warning about this exact scheme with cars. The check appears to be real even to your bank. It's not discovered for a couple weeks and you're out major cash and possibly your machine. Authorities are aware of this but there is no cooperation between the US and foreign governments on this.
