'06 outback 650 "AD IS A SCAM" -BEWARE!!!!!

[Summitric]

I found a 2006 outback 650 with 774 kms and 2up seating for $2700 on a sales website.-- sounds too good to be true..... It is down east, and the people are desperate, and supporting a sick 8year old daughter.... I asked for a serial #, and she just e-mailed it to me..... What now??? Should i get the serial # searched, and then what?? Any idea what shipping would cost from ontario to here?? How should i transfer funds, and be certain the quad is what it is, and that they're not going to rip me off???

Re: '06 outback 650 worth???

maybe its a scam ...maybe not...my buddy got a 06 Yamaha 350 bruin down east for $2200 last year.it was bout 400 to deliver it to FT Mac.
one way to tell its a scam....if they want payment in Western union..its a scam. maybe you could say you have a friend that lives down their and he will come see it?
if you found this add on kigigi...its properly a scam. my friend got it thru ebay so its guaranteed then

good luck

its in the auto-trader........?

Re: '06 outback 650 worth???

auto trader would have a phone number and picture then...you have to pay for this add dont you? maybe its the real deal
most scams are on so called free sites to post and they would want money up front and then promise to deliver.most are done thru cell phones not home numbers
just cover your bases, ask lots of questions, get an address to view...if they give you that..how could it be fake?

i appreciate that you contacted me. First let me say that the 2006 bombardier outlander 650 is available for $2,700 (final price).
It is in good condition, there's no scratches or any dents on it,very well maintained,please check the pictures, i have a clear title for it, no liens or loans.it has 776 km.
Never been in any accidents.where are you located?
The reason why i'm selling it so cheap (it`s real value is far from this price...) is because my 8 year old daughter is very sick and we need those money as soon as possible,right now i don`t care of it`s real price,my daughter`s health is more important.....
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate ask
best regards

my next email

hi,
i`m located in toronto right now at hospital with my daughter,the thing is i have to stay here with her and i don`t have time to stay and meet with all my potential buyers, that is why i gave to a shipping company that will ship it to the next owner(on my cost), it is sealed in container, so i'm trying to sell it online under ebay`s protection.you will have 5 days from the time you receive to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not, if by any reason, you will not be satisfied, you will return the car to shipping company with no expense.don`t worry you won`t have to pay any taxes,everything is included.
Please reply with your complete name and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that i can open a transaction at ebay and to move forward with this deal.after that they will contact you with all necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.).

P.s. Please don`t forget to send me your full name and address.

then another quad i inquired on

Good catch boys, maybe they'll get nabbed. Auto Trader can't like people using their publication for fraud....

 

[bubs]

There is a ton of thses same adds on KIJIJI too.
I like to play along with them when it's slow at work. Lots of e-mails back and forth, I offer my credit card number(never actually give it) as I don't want to let this "GREAT" deal slip through my hands.
You can almost hear them drooling over the sucker they think they have found. Then I mention I'll actually be wherever they are or within an hours drive on business so I'd like to pick it up to try and save them some more money to go to their poor sick child,parent,aunt, whatever the ailment of the day is.
There is also lots that say they are in the military deployed overseas and that is why they can't sell it personally...trying to play the sympathy card. It's actually a really good stress reliever...I get alot of laughs out their "stories".
I have found that if the deal gets you drooling over it...it's a scam.

Good luck finding a deal, I think there wil be some cheap quads come up this summer.
