Scam? Goggle Wallet..RZ500 for 6k

#1 Post by HWY9CA » Mon May 22, 2017 9:29 pm

Saw an add for a RZ500 for $6, very nice to nice.
emailed back and forth now I get this message...
1st reply Hi,
My name is Mary Burke and I am happy to see that you are interested in my 1984 Yamaha RZ500. I would like to tell you that it is in perfect condition, never wrecked, clean and clear title. The price was reduced at $ 6,000 including shipping and handling costs. Because of my divorce settlement, I own this 1984 Yamaha RZ500 I don't need it so I'm trying to get rid of it as soon as possible (that's why I'm selling it so cheap).
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Best Regards,
Mary Burke


After I asked if I can come see the bike

Hi again,
As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced. The bike is already at the shipping company sealed in their warehouse in Columbia, MO (ready for delivery). The deal is handled by Google Wallet so I don't have much to do about it. Using Google Wallet Buyer Protection Program, you get free shipping. Shipping will take no more than 5 days (2 days to prepare the shipping and 3 days for the shipping depending on your location). In addition, you get 5 days to try it out before buying it, and if you don't like it, you can send it back at my expense. Along with the bike you will receive all necessary papers to register it into your name including the free clear title which is already back signed by me and notarized for the transfer. For more info on how it works, I can ask Google Wallet to send you an email with more details on how to buy it. They will contact you shortly, as soon as I have some personal details. If you would like to receive the email from Google Wallet with all the transaction information, please reply with your whole name, address and phone # and they will contact you right away. If you want more details about the transaction before to go ahead please let me know.


With lots of pretty pictures-

SCAM I think what do you think?

These are Russian mob. Had a similar deal like that a few years ago. You pay, they ship, you try before you buy etc. It's all garbage. If you can't go look at it and pay cash right then and there it's 99% of the time a scam.

Of course it's a scam. That should be obvious.

I have some land for sale and I know you'll love it. Beautiful waterfront property. I have to leave the country Friday on a top secret government mission. As I am leaving the country my second cousin Boris will be handling the sale. You can wire the money directly to his office. His secretary Natasha will take care of the details. Once she gets a 25% deposit to hold the property for you she'll send the paperwork for you and your lawyer to complete. You can reach Boris and Natasha at 1-800-722-6637. That's 1-800-sca-mmer

I offer a secure escrow service - I will send you a $2500 cashiers check to cover the fees.

Just deposit the check, keep $2100 and send me the $400 escrow fee which is coming from the cashiers check - see it costs you nothing :mrgreen: :grin:

Then when you are ready to buy the bike I will vouch for you and the seller - this way you prevent any :smt010
