Craig’s List – 2 Honda Rincon ATV’s with Trailer
Same as two Ski Doo’s and trailer scam. Listed as local, but were in a container in Florida ready to be shipped. Wanted to sell through “eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program.” Thanks for the info indentifying the scam. The seller was Brian Quinn, email address: Brian Quinn [brian.q@gmx.com]

I was in email dialog with this guy trying to find out where he lives. As soon as I suggested a face to face meeting, his email correspondence stopped. This version of the scam was that the “google shipping center” in Chicago had the machines and trailer ready to ship and ebay would send an invoice (for my protection). I can’t imagine anyone falling for this scam although I know it happens once in awhile. What can we do collectively to have him arrested and prosecuted? He was using a gmail account with me. Wouldn’t the folks at google (gmail), ebay, and craigslist be interested in doing a little investigating?
