Hello ,
Good morning to you and your loved ones.I am very sorry that i could not get back to you earlier than this to view the bike before leaving your country,i hard to travel urgently to Japan to get some thing ready for the december celebration and i will be back to my country (Italy) in 9 days time.
After much thought, i think the price is okay by me .i will like you to do me a little favour by removing the ads from the website and ignore every other interested buyer.
Regarding payment,for the fact that i don't want to delay you of the payment and also for the sake of rounding up this before 15 -12-05 , i just contacted my assocaite in your country about an hour ago and i told him about what i want to purchase from you.
Here in Japan i dont have access to my bank account and for this not to delay you the payment and also to be able to round -up this before 15 -12-05 , i have suggested that my associate residing in the your country to issue out the banker's Draft or money order from U.K bank to you including the shipping charges .
He will issue out a cheque or money order of ( £ 5,000 ) which will cover the cost price plus the shipping and shipping cost of other goods i have for pick-Up in here in Japan. I have an international shipping and Clearing agent that will come to your location for the pick-up as soon as you have the clear funds in your account and the shipping funds(my balance) been transfer to them through which ever means they might want it but is yet known to me. pls i want you to get back to me with your FULL NAME,FULL CONTACT ADDRESS so that i can forward it to my associate to issue out the payment to you before he leave for the SEA (offshore's worker) . hope you understand this mail and i await your immediate
response today.
PLS PARDON MY ENGLISH NOT TOO GOOD

Why would someone from Italy pay £5000, for an Italian bike thats 6 years old, and is only just over £3000 new?  ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |

its not even believable, always talk about being out of the country, ive never have the urge to buy a bike while i was out of UK they could at least put some effort so i have to think for a split second about relising its a scam!
Yokogeris was even funnier, something about a dying wish for a car for he grandson, while selling his bike!! ____________________ 99 RS125 --> 02 SV650s --> 03 Speed Four --> 92 RXS100 --> 93 CB400sf --> 01 CB600f Hornet |

l got sent sent a cheque from a nigerian for £3650 to buy my £600 AF1 125, from the start l knew it was a scam but cashed the cheque anyway just out of intrest.
the cheque cleared in 4 days and l was up £3650, so l left the money in the account for two weeks to see if would dissapear etc, after the two weeks l move the cash to a building society savings account, but 3 weeks after doing that HSBC called me up saying that the clearing house had losted the cheque and that they wanted the £3650 back and if l did,nt promply return it my account so they could take it out of my account they would minus my account by £3650 so after beening threated by HSBC l,ve gave the cash back to stop HSBC arse rapping me.  ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650,KZ750 Present:G650XC,C12,CRF450X,1190ADV |

was,nt an option at the time becasue my wages were going in there along with direct debits which was too much hassle so direct else where.
thinking about it now l should of cashed in a new account and closed the account as soon as possable, but doing that could be classed as fraud. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650,KZ750 Present:G650XC,C12,CRF450X,1190ADV |
