Their knowledge of English is poor and their knowledge of North American geography is worse. I strung one along a few months ago and told him I lived in Palm Springs Alaska and that I was going to ride the new bike to Inuvik (near the Arctic Circle) for the pineapple festival in February. He didn't clue in and continued to send me emails.
Silly guy , the pinapple festival isnt till April!

Well.. He replied, I told him I have 4000.00$ cash burning a hole in my pocket and I want to come see that bike. Curious as to what he'll say next, probably some nonsense about why the bikes not available for viewing etc.

| Make sure you know "who is playing who." Considering the info they want from gofastandfalldown, the second part of the scam is to get personal info from you so they can use it to falsify money orders, etc. They want name, address, and money transfer control number. You do NOT want to give ANYONE that sort of information.

the saddest part is that there are still people out there that can and do fall for this. I think I have seen this same type of thing a hundred times or more...
