Scam Maybe

[rsaint]

I`m sorry for the late response. The sled is in perfect shape, without scratches or dents, the engine has no leaks, is working perfectly. Is from 2010 and has 2000 kms. The sled is now in Whitehorse, ready to be delivered to its buyer with all the documents. I want to use a third party to handle the sale so we can be both protected, and please note that you will get the sled before I receive any money. If you have any other questions, or need more info, please free to ask.
Thank you,
This is the reply I recieved to a Kijji Ad ID 448587480 skidoo 1200 for sale going to play a bit with Sarah.

My buddy was trying to get a hold of them as well. After riding mine, he wants to build one.

 

[struglin]

[rsaint]

Think i will pay with penpal.

I'd run from that. I mean really, who just graciously offers you let have this machine with no cash before hand? Different if its your buddy etc...I dunno, I would look elsewhere.

I know when it is half price and its not my first purchase of a sled just posting it as a scam having fun with the seller.

Lot's of these around. I've had my share of entertainment with them. Do it right and you can drag it on for weeks!

Definite scam. I always tell them I have a relative in whatever city they claim the item is located and can look at it ASAP. Usual response is " item is already crated and ready to ship". I have yet to ever see a crated RV!! Lol

Definately a scam....could be fun to play with them a bit though!

This is exactly what I do. I usually drag the conversation on as long as I can and get some more info. It usually ends with me telling them I'm going to kill them. Too far?

My buddy sends them his address and phone number.....it just happens to be the same as the local RCMP station.

I just had one of these. I just messed with them.

What they do is go through all the motions but never pay or deliver. Yes they do this when buying or selling. They will somehow word it so it all looks like gravy but ask you to send shipping money through western union. They take your shipping money and you never hear from them again.

Hi,

The price is CAD$4,700 with shipping included.
As I told you in my first email, I recently lost my son and my husband. Currently I am located in London,United Kingdom at my parents because they are the only persons that I have in my life in this moment. Since I`m out of country I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my sled over the internet. I'm currently signed up for a protection program offered by Amazon Payments ( visit their website: ) and I would like to close the deal through them. If you are not aware of this program you should know that it will allow you to test drive and inspect the sled before paying me. You will have a 5-day inspection period to decide whether you want to keep the sled or not before they release the funds to me. is safe and using their services you are eligible of a refund anytime. If you agree with Amazon Payments terms and conditions you need to go on web site, register and then click purchase an item, once you do that, Amazon Payments will send you the invoice with all the payment and shipping details. Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.
Sincerely,

Have to play along

The wife went through two similar things when she was selling her street bike and truck. Talked to RCMP(nothing they can do) penpal basically said the same thing. Next time we will do exactly what doorfx added to the comments. Just once it would be nice to turn the table and screw them at their own game. Dirt bags.

RUN!!!!!!!!!!( or if you prefer string it out and ask if your friend in Yellowknife can have a gander at it, then they will tell you it is elsewhere, ha.) Those Nigerians are something else!

 

[rsaint]

Just playing with Sarah asked here if my cousin in Whitehorse can at least see the crate.

 

[kbrunlees]

Wow where did I read Yellowknife in that? Of course that would have really buggered them up! oops!

 

[underdog]

Hey rsaint, recognize this sled?
