Remember the XB12S a week or 2 ago for ~$5k BIN? Well, anybody want to take odds on this being another hijacked Ebay account?

Looks like a legit HD/Buell Dealership, and their phone number is listed, so it would be easy to check out. Ad has the same crap with a "pre-approved buyers list".

That is from the dealer in Ames Iowa.
They are an "alleged" Buell dealer at best.
Don't know if it's for real or one of the scam stolen ID deals.
I will however be forwarding this to HD/Buell corporate.
It is against the dealer agreement to sell new bikes on ebay.

Ride to the edge!

I reported it to Ebay as a scam and told them to check them out. The word I got back on the last round was "the motorcycle is in the Ebay warehouse in Los Angeles. Just send the downpayment to our agent in San Diego and we will arrange shipment to you."

Yeah, thats not really the dealerships auction. Looks like somebody hi-jacked some account and then stole the pictures from the Zylstra website.

Glad you guys caught it!
That would really piss me off if some scammer stole my pictures of the bike to use in their ripoff.

Generally speaking,if it sounds to good to be true,it usually is.ANYONE who would spend that kind of money and not physically see and touch the bike before buying it-------is kinda asking to be ripped off!IMHO!

Received this in my email today after giving them no personal info whatever. Hey I live in San Diego so I should see what kind of losers these guys really are.


Dear Sir,

You are already on our pre approved buyer list for one new Buell : Firebolt : XB12R

The bike are no longer listed because we asked eBay to take off the auction from the site because we had too many demands for our product and we already find buyers for them (like yourself). We received 1100 questions for this item in the last 12 hours, it's like a bomb email and we have to reject all the demands because all the items are sold or promised to be sold. Who asks first, gets the item, works like this.


The next step is to give you the last details for finalizing this business under the best conditions. If you are a first time user then you must go in person to a Western Union agent from where you can send the payment. If you can't find a agent location near you, please send us your address and we will search it for you . Since we will support the shipping costs you will support the money transfer commission. You will be allowed to buy it only after the wire transfer is sent to San Diego. Note that you have to send us the first 40% of the total amount of $7,250 which means $2,900 and the rest of $4,350 after delivery.
After you make the payment through Western Union they will provide you the mtcn that means money transfer control number. E-mail us the mtcn and the sender's full name and address that you filled in on the transfer request. As soon as we receive from you the transfer details we will check the payment and immediately contact eBay Warehouse to ship the bike to you and you will receive it by DAS insured in about four days.
The payment must be sent on the name of our sales manager:

Name: KEVIN BRADY

Address: 7801 Mission Center Court

City: San Diego , CA

Zip Code: 92108

REGARDS,
