Motorcycle scam on KSL.com

I came acrossed an add for an 07 harley springer softail with low miles for only $2600. I figured it was a scam but you never know so I sent a email to the guy expressing my interest and telling him I was a little skepticle due to the price. I later realized that the bike in the picture was a CVO model which is blue booked at $18,000 but it wasn’t listed as a CVO kinda strange… about an hour later the add is taken down and three days later I get an email from the scammer. here it is

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in buying my bike.
Well, i’m based at Grand Forks air force base in ND, and the reason for selling is because i will be deployed to Iraq and i don’t want it getting old in my garage.
The price is low because I need to sell it in 10 days.
The bike is in great condition, never been dropped and it has a clear title.
The bike is here with me and in case you will buy it, I will take care of shipping, total price is $2900.

I will ship it with a reliable and experienced shipping company called M2 Reeves.
I will take care of shipping charges, and i think i can have it shipped to you in 3-4 days.
I am a member of eBay’s vehicle purchase protection program and by using this service you will get a 3 days inspection period after delivery.

Basically, these are the steps in order to close the deal:
- you pay the money to eBay, not to me
- the bike + title will be shipped to you
- you test it for 3 days
- if you accept it, eBay will pay me
- if you reject it, they will refund your payment and it will be shipped back on my expenses.
Fast, simple and safe process!

All we need to get started and open the eBay case is your name and shipping address.
This is a very simple and risk-free program and you don’t even need an eBay account for this!

Thanks
Daniel

I have noticed some other “great deals” on bikes all priced at $2600 dollars. So be careful hope this helps.
