I posted my 84 big red on some internet classifieds quickquarter.com and then i get this really weird email from some place in like London (I clearly stated that it is located in Minnesota, US) from sombody wanting to buy it. I think its a scam but what I don't get is how would they take anything from me. I'm obviously not going to ship without certified real, clean payment... I dunno Tell me what you think :evil: (

Nick Fisher,

Do not worry about the picking, my shipper will handle that. All you need to do now is to send me your Full Name, Full Contact Address and Your Personal Phone Number in which my creditor client will use in issueing the check of $6,000 US dollars. As soon as you received the check, I will want you to send the balance of $5,050 to the shipping
company that will come for the shipment, so that they can be able to come for the shippment.

Looking forward to hear from you soonest.

Thanks.

Martins.

It's a scam. I have seen a few other people that actually went through with the deal. The seller got the check, cashed it, and sent the atv. A few weeks later, the seller found out that they had gotten a bogus check and the bank wanted their money back. After searching for the buyer, the seller found out they didn't exist. Hope this helps.

If his $6,000.00 check is legit. I'm keeping it all. :rolleyes:

I'm gonna tell him to feck off. Obviously some gay foreign guy isn't going to pay 5,000+ to ship a damn wheeler worth 5x less he cares nothing about...
