Does anyone really think the cops, internet, fraud or whoever are gonna give 2 shits about someone scammin a biker? We are already scum, if we get scammed, we will be broke scum and 1 less outlaw biker on the road. Cos we are all outlaw aren't we.
These pieces of shit need to be tracked down via their own weapon, their computer, phone, etc, then we could all sit down and explain the error of their ways to them so that they wouldn't need to pursue this avenue. Anyone know someone that has the knowledge?
+1 Bano
Maybe we have the answer right here. If you see an advert alert everyone and we bombard them with enquiries. Both mobile and internet. Put some much pressure on their end so that they give it away?
A different way to look at this
The reason scams like this work is there are a lot of dumb people out there.
Sorry if this offends people (and I'm sure it will) but come on if everyone out there had even half a clue like we all do here then this shit would die in the arse because it would not be profitable.
People need to take responsibility for what they do and don't blame others for their ignorance. It's all very well looking for a good deal but bugger me Stevie Wonder could see these adds are a scam.
Just my thoughts on it and yeah I'm a bit cynical because I'm sick of dealing with stupid people all day.
Ok had my say now i'm ready for the bashing
Look out kiwi heres ur first one
Oh fuck it, heres ya second as well LOL
My son is lookin to buy a 2nd hand sporty. It would be jus like him to ring me all excited and say "hey guess what. I found this really cheap bike and i put a deposit on it."
I remember buying a set of encyclopadia's when I was 20 (with first wife, child on the way, great for future schooling) they wern't worth a pinch of goats..... oops sorry Robo ahh chook shit. But I was young and gullible.
Now I am old and gullible. Cheers Burnzi
By the way I didnt need the encyclopadias cos
first wife knew everything,
oh second wife knew even more so didnt need google.
Third one is blond.
Perhaps they are stolen?? but nobody would be stupid enough to steal a bike like a HD then advertise it publicly. Then having said that to sell that Fat Boy for that price you would not have to advertise publicly would you.
BTW sounds like one of the forum gentlemen got scammed by a "builder" there awhile ago, wot's the difference. The place is full of weird people, I know I met one on the weekend.
Same here! maybe they have smelt some one sniffing around, or got some dosh & have moved on to another product to scam to keep the scent off their trail.
you guys were making an asumption that he had a bike... easy to post up something fictitious ... did anyone run a VIN or plate check?
edit:
the information he used can easily be obtained using plate number on Vic Road register....
easy to used info on the net to 'offer' someone elses bike.
If anyone believes that last post they are having a bad day. The bloke I spoke to was Edward.
