Default Am I being scammed for a second time?

www.internationalct-lines.com

Will somebody please check this website out and see if it's a real shipping company. Or another scam.

I am still looking for a bike, but can't find one in my area.

I found one in Califorina, and the guy wants me to send the money to this company, and then receive the bike, then they will release the money to him, after I inspect the bike.

So he says.

This is my last attempt to find a bike over the internet. It's funny how everyone that I call about a bike is out of the country for some reason, but their bike is in holding somewhere in America ready to ship.

Anyhow... A little help please.

Thanks,

Cole

garbage..

dude.. im not even going to click on it.. **** like that can be spyware or something worse..

the only way you should buy a bike.. is if you have the vin# and can check it with the state its registered in..

and if they person selling on ebay or craigslist wants anything besides paypal.. and then payment in person its a scam

just wait man there will be a bike in your area..

yes it's another scam. Never pay money first unless it's in person or an official way of payment (ie: paypal, etc.)

I wanta 600RR or maybe 1000RR if I have to.
I want the model with the tail pipe out the back, like an 03, 04, 05.
Older the better. Dont have too much to spend.
Dont care about the looks. Just as long as it hasnt been wrecked, or the engine hasnt been opened up. Still factoryengine is best.

I need it to be dependable. Care less about scratches.

I live in the Carolinas, and willbe willing to make a weekend trip to pick the bikeup.

If you can help.... my email is gundogz@roadrunner.com

Thank you,

Cole

Do not buy anything overseas.
For that matter, do not buy anything without checking with us on this forum.
We will look into the sellers in anyway we can, to help you out.

Glad you asked before sending any money.
Listen carefully to the replies in this thread and your other "shipping company" thread.

We can keep an eye out for what you are looking for in your area.
But, cannot guarantee you won't get ripped off.

Is this you first bike?
Good info on buying a bike can be found here -> http://www.clarity.net/~adam/buying-bike.html

dude just keep on craigslist and ebay. i wouldnt try anything else and if it is ebay i wouldnt pay through ebay id contact them and talk to them about it and pay in person when you see the bike. thats actually what i did to get mine in january.
just wait, it sux that its getting nice out but dont rush to buy somethin you might regret
