Yes i have it, but i can not talk with you at the phone because i don`t speak in english very well..i`m original from germany but right now my location it`s in USA, California and this is my location and the suzuki it`s with me.
I want to let you know that i will transport the suzuki to your address fron new zealand by DHL and i will pay the transport taxes.
Please let me know if you are ready to buy it from me??

Thank you

Speaks for itself, sounds like a sham

So long as he doesnt want the money before you get the bike, no problems!
But yeah, sounds like a scam now....

[cammo]

i guess some things are just to good to be true!!! sucks dont it!!!

[gav]

yip, if hes in Cali why would he advertise the bike in NZ? cool bike though....

If you were bored and wanted to string him along you could email him back, telling him your studying German, and would love the opportunity to engage in conversation with a native speaker..

Here's more...

yes but i will pay all the shipping and handle just please tell me if you can transfer the money by bank account transfer and i will sell it immediatly to you, ok?

[ktulu]

Haha, oh yeah, go for it psycho, I bet it will arrive..... pfffftt

[PSYCHO]

and...

what you mean by like a scam?

[ktulu]

I wasn't taking the piss out of you, just doing a bad attempt of taking the piss out of the persons credibility sorry. Fuck this writing stuff down makes it hard to be anything but serious.

[PSYCHO]

I know you weren't PTing me Ktulu.

This is such a scam it's not funny. I've seen this shit before. All the bikes are located overseas bla bla

I've kept emailing them/him/her, but they won't return my emails now!

They know that I'm "on to them"

[ktulu]

hmmm... yep no worries psycho...

Funny how my mom always said... "if its too good to true it normally is"

Fairly reasonable comment

[StoneChucker]

I got jealous that you were going to get a good deal Ktulu, so I mailed him and got him to drop the price to $7000, and I deposited the money... He said the bike would be shipped immediately, so I trust him.

bwahahahahahaha I am utterly amazed at how these people operate. HOW stupid do they think we are? The sad thing is, some people are caught out by this, as not everyone has as much internet savvy as the rest of us. It really is sad, but, life sucks...

People on the net with lots of free time have actually got these scammers to send them money. Classic! (mostly the nigerian scams).

More of a concern to me Dave is how this guy managed to get hold of a trademe account - is it a stolen account or a hacked trademe server?

Trademe have sent people emails of late reminding them of the need to change passwords for accounts regularly. The trouble is so many people don't have any idea of computer security, so unscrupulous people can take over a legitimate user's account and sell stuff.

I just hope its a user's bad security, rather than someone exploiting one of Microsoft's myriad IIS insecurities to obtain access.

Dear alex,

Thanks for reporting the auction for: 2004 SUZUKI : GSX-R : GSX-R

The Trade Me Customer Support Team have reviewed the listing and has
deemed that it is in breach of our terms and conditions. As a result the
auction has been removed from the site.

Thank you for bringing this auction to our attention and making Trade Me a
better place to buy and sell.


Happy trading,

The Trade Me Customer Support Team

got that about 15 minutes after reporting it and it was off trademe soon after! so if people report it they are generally pretty good at removing scams
