Ask for pictures of the new chain and sprockets on the Gold Wing.
-
I'm amazed how all three seem to also be a 2007 Kawasaki, according to the right side buttons. Magic!
-
The 4 cylinder DRZ400 should be a rocket!

I've noticed that the verbiage and syntax in theses CL ads appears to be evolving into more credible content. IIRC, years ago, the descriptions in these types of ads were almost unreadable, as English sentences. I'm not sure if the scammers becoming slightly literate is making the scams more successful, or not.

Too funny.
How many users has your bike had?
I'm temped to ask if the gas peddle has also been replaced....lol...b ut most are after your email to be sold for pennies to marketers.
-
Additionally funny is that he has 2 big bikes that you'd never use the higher gears on. Molokai is a small island. :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Cool... it has DEPENDABLE tires.
Just what I need.
-
I'd like to see the conversion kit for the Goldwing to chain and sprockets. :grin: :grin: :grin:

It's all fun until they take over the WWWeb... :popcorn:

Chuck,
Yes, that's my point. The ads are still very crude, but have more creativity.

The proper lack of right colloquialisms will always trip up a scammer from a different region. :laugh:
-
It also helps spot the scam -- and the origin of the scam -- by noting all of the posted examples are for the same year Kawasaki with an automatic transmission.
-
Yeah....if it's on an ad in Hawaii and Conn. then there's other ads in other states. Big pond to be fishing in. :tongue:

Come on guys. When you see ads like that just tell yourself "Not my monkeys, not my circus" and walk away.
