E Bay 4 Wheeler Scam- Alice Clayton
Almost got me. Thanks for being here all. I saw the first ad on Craigslist in Omaha, NE. Replied to phone number on Craigslist: 402-417-0971. Received a reply from (360) 438-8384 saying: "I posted the 2007 Kawasaki Brute Force (price$1500) in behalf of my sister, she doesn't have a Craigs account, e mail her at
[email protected] for pics, info"
So I did and the following transpired:
Hi,

It has the following features: 2007 Kawasaki Brute Force 750i, automatic transmission,4x4, snow plow , 81 hours and 360 miles,camo paint one owner with full service history and all documents,two keys...no damage..clean title in hand. The price is 1500$ and i do not take trades.

I replied- Alicia,
I am very interested. I am also home this weekend as I travel during the week. At your leisure I would love to visit.
Will you take a cash, check, or money order?
Oh, and where abouts are you located so as I know how far the drive will be?
Her (it's reply)-
Hi again, the atv is located in Aurora, Missouri because I am a newly divorcee.
I thought a new start would do me good, so I packed up and moved to my home town, with my job, and took the quad with me as part of a divorce settlement. I have clean title in hand and i`m ready to send you a copy if you are interested too see one.
I decided to sell using e Bay Buyer Protection program because i cannot meet you.
Shipping and handling is free, the loan of my previous buyer didn't get approved so there won't be any additional shipping costs because he already paid the shipping. In addition, you will have 7 days to try out prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense.
If you are ready to buy it and you have the cash available, please email me your Full Name , City , Zip Code and Phone Number so I can list the quad on e Bay and you can buy it using the "BUY IT NOW" option.
Thank you very much
have a nice day
My Reply- Alice.

Her (it's reply)- ok
Send me your name and shipping address and i will give you the ebay posting with my quad
My reply- Just to be 100% on the authenticity (I've never bought like this before) may I:
See a copy of the title and
2) any chance we may speak. It would make me feel more comfortable. I other words I'm looking for a way to be more certain this/ you are real.
I would be happy to FaceTime or Skype to a brief conversation?
Never heard another word after this. Again, thanks all for posting these things, you saved me.
