SCAM WARNING
« on: April 07, 2017, 11:21:15 AM »
Hi all, there was recently a 1975 CB750 on e bay that stated they were selling on behalf of a friend as they had no e bay account.
I made an enquiry to the seller and got a reply stating his dad had recently died and would accept an offer for a quick sale. etc etc.
E bay shortly after cancelled the sellers advert but it again came up. He also had a Harley on there which to me also seemed to cheap.
They have now again been removed.
No way would I or should anyone else part with money without being 100% on it.
Just thought Id let everyone know
If it sounds to cheap its possibly a scam.
" There still out there and probably always will be "
Regards Keith

Just actually had that situation on a Honda accord Estate. After initial enquiry by Ebay email. Reply was -
" For a friend / hearing isues don't ring / email etc. "

The  vehicle had little info about it and was cheap but not rediculously so. Unfortunately  went  and replied by email. Then the response email was definitely fishy, so reported it. Hope I am ok with them having my email. No adverse activity I'm aware of yet and it was a few weeks ago.....

These sad people as so annoying.....
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....
