I posted my bike online For Sale. This guy kept sending me emails, saying he was interested, wanted pics, and more info about the bike. So back and forth I send pics and more info. But the guy wont tell me were he is from. I never give out any personal info though. Then I get this email saying this friend owes him some $ so he will have the friend give me the $ for me to deposit and then send him the rest back. Are people really that STUPID? This is a Nigerian Scam. here is a copy of the email. The last email I had w/ the check from the friend got deleted.

Selling ur bike?????

 

yeah, I'm selling it, I wanted a 600cc bike and got the 250 cause of cost. Cant beat em. Definately not giving up riding, I will keep the bike b4 that happens

 

Thats cool... hope ya get what ya want for the 250.

 

It is amazing all the things scammers will try. If they invested that much trouble and time into their own business or a job, they would prob do pretty good for themselves.

Be cool to see ya on a 600.....

 

Good on ya for not falling for that, jayden. That's the classic, I give you a $5000 check for your $2100 item, you send me back $2900 in change, but three weeks later the $5k check bounces sky high and you're stuck with the bill.

 

yes it does happen, a while ago I posted my rims for sale and got a similar email..... this one said they are from England and have someone in the states that owes them money and all I need to do is deposit the whole thing and send the rest (left over) of the money with the rims..... but like your's they didn't give any info and just wanted info from me..... *** NO! Delete, Delete, Delete!!!

My emali also was writeen like yours in broken english..... these scammers should hang!!![:@]
