$4400 for a Harley?

From: kvnkvnsmth3@aol.com
To: Darren McCall

Hello,
My bike (2008 Harley-Davidson Touring Road King Classic) it’s in perfect condition, it has only 5344 miles, it’s almost brand new, never dropped, no scratches, no dents or hidden defects…it’s just the way it looks it is. The price is $4400 if you buy it now. It has also a clear title. The bike will come with a jacket and a helmet.

First of all I want to tell you that I am in Anchorage, AK. I am selling the bike for such a low price because my squadron has been sent back to Afghanistan for the next year and I don’t want it to get old in my garage. I have to sell the bike before 15 July.
I will handle with the shipping everywhere in USA and I will cover the shipping fees too. The bike will be shipped in a crate container directlly to your home address in maximum 3-5 days.
I am a member of eBay Vehicle Purchase Program and we will use this program in our transaction.
I will wait your email if you are interested in purchasing it…

Thank you,
Kevin

Obviously a scam. There is no reason for someone in Alaska to be listing a motorcycle in Georgia. But either way a motorcycle shipped from Alaska to Georgia in 3-5 days? Really?

Yes, I am interested in purchasing the motorcycle. Please send me the details on where to send the money.

As you can read in my first email, it is located in Anchorage, AK and I will cover the shipping fees.
The Shipping company will shipp it at your home address.

In order to notify eBay I will need buyer’s full name, phone # and shipping address so I can open a transaction case and they will contact you for further details and instructions. I want a safe deal and I want to end this transaction with eBay’s buyer protection program.

How it works:
You make the payment to eBay safe account.
After they check the payment they announce me to start the shipping.
After you will receive the product and see that is ok, you have
to announce them that you have it. Only then, they will send me the money.
If you are not satisfied with it, I will have it shipped back to me on my cost and you will get 100% refund from eBay.

Hope to hear from you soon…

Fake eBay email #2 (click to enlarge)

6/22/2010 – Brooks Conrad for the Atlanta Braves loses the baseball in his jersey.

LaGrange, MO – Officer Doug Howell, assisted by officer Jason Powell, shot and killed Marcus Mays’ American Bulldog, Cammi, on March 31st. LaGrange resident Mary Coleman called the police stating that the dog had acted threateningly toward her and her daughter as they walked to a school bus stop. “It was growling at my six-year-old,” Coleman testified. “I wanted my kid to be safe and myself to be safe.” Coleman obviously didn’t feel too threatened by the dog, she approached the dog and restrain her by chaining her to the owners home.

In the video you will see the dog wagging her tail as officers approach and pet her. She even laid down in the road at one point. The dog only freaked out when they tried to put the catch pole around her neck. Even after officer Howell shoots the dog in the chest, she still wags her tail when he stands over her to shoot her in the head. Watch the police video and see for yourself…
