This Is How A Bike-buying E-mail Scam Starts Out…

© 2005, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

As an example of how brazen operators of bike-buying scams are, here is an example of a typical opening e-mail in the ruse, sent in response to a classified ad placed on Roadracingworld.com by a Roadracing World editor. In this case, the e-mail purportedly came from a Yahoo.UK e-mail address. This is not how legitimate buyers purchase motorcycles: Good Day, Am interested in buying your 2003 GSXR1000 and i want to know if you still have it for sale and also i want you to get back to me with the condition and your last offer for the item,as soon as you get back to me i will make arrangement on how payment will get to you okay.I will be looking forward to your soonest reply. Thanks, Ann…
