Default Scam??

here is the deal:i was looking ata cycle trader magazine and came across an 02 cbr600 f4i with 5896 miles, with no mechanical problems, llike new tires, never been down, etc. etc, for $2800. He also mentioned that he really needs the money for his honeymoon.Also,he said the bike already has a clean US title... The only problem is the guy is in the united kingdom. He said he would arrange for shipping and what not... I think thats an incredibly low price and things don't really add up...

What would you guys do? What do you think of the scenario?

DEFINATE scam. Do a search on this forum, as about a month ago there was a very detailed thread regarding this specific scam. If you're too lazy to do that, just know that you should not give this guy a penny.

I would NEVER send someone money for a bike/car and have them ship it to me...too many scamers out there, and this is one of them

I found a 954 on craigslist for 2500 that was a scam. Years ago when I was looking for my F3 I ran into the same thing a guy had an R6 listed near me on ebay I asked to check it out and the bike was in Ireland. Scam

Scam! Everyone knows they dont take honeymoons over there.

Anything overseas is a scam IMO.
