Thats funny, he must have a cousin in Chicago cause I bid on a bike and was about 12 bidders down from the top of the list when the auction ended. Sure enough I received a similar email full of spelling and grammer errors making stupid claims for a clean title.

I looked up his address on the USPS web site and it was actually a real addressin Chicago. I offered to have a friend visit to check out the bike. I claimed that my friend only lived a few streets over & I named a street near by to the scammers street. I asked if Mr. Scammer would send me a photo of the title.

Then..........................silence, he never responded again. Maybe he didn't get his full set of internal organs transplanted in time..what a shame.

P.T. Barnum said it.....Theres a sucker born every minute, lucky for us we were born seconds later.

Most Ebay sellers are OK but let the buyer beware.
