Hello,

I am Chris, Yes the 87 LT250R is still up for sale, it needs one thing, rear bearings and seals. That’s it, this quad runs Very strong and very fast. I just put a whole new brand new set of rear 20inch Holeshot XCR’s and front 21inch Holeshot xcr’s. The quad is up for sale at 2000 firm, was asking more but that’s the lowest I will go. Here is a link to my photo page and listing what the quad has done to it. http://forums.atvconnection.com/photos.cfm/ID/4143/#TOP Let me know if the link does not work. Also, where are you located again?

So your paying 2000 for the quad and 3000 extra to pay for shipping? What is snf, also I will speak to my father about this. The quad does not have a title being an older quad, you can have it registered, however were only 2nd or 3rd owner and serial is clean. Is the Cashier’s check cashable as soon as I get it that way im confident about the whole thing. Will he actually take care of the shipping?

Are you there? < me emailing him after a day or 2..

Hey, I was just checking up with you you haven’t returned my email. Umm Let me know if your still interested in the quad or not and how you want to do this, Thanks. < me.

There are several variations of the Scam that criminals may use to exploit their victims. Here are some examples:

Beneficiary of a Will: The victim receives an e-mail that claims they are the named beneficiary in the will of an estranged relative, and stand to inherit an estate worth millions. In order to complete the inheritance, the victim's personal financial information is needed to "prove" that they are the beneficiary and to "expedite the transfer of the inheritance."

Bogus Cashiers Checks: The victim advertises an item for sale on the Internet, and is contacted by an interested buyer from Nigeria or another country. The scammer then sends the victim a check or money order for an amount much larger than the asking price of the item. The victim is then asked to deposit the difference back to the scammer. If the victim does not wait for the bank to verify the check, they can end up losing thousands of dollars.

Donation Solicitations: The victim receives an e-mail requesting "donations" to fight an evil government or dictatorship in Africa. The scammer requests that the victim provide bank account information so that the "donation" can be directly withdrawn from the bank.

Fake Web Site: The scam artist sets up a fake online bank and "deposits" the amount of money referenced in the scam e-mail. When the victim expresses any doubts or misgivings about the existence or size of the fund transfer that is to take place, they are directed to the site, which shows a multi-million dollar deposit.

American Soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq: The victim receives a letter purporting to be from an American soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan who has discovered a treasure of terrorist currency and needs help to embezzle the funds out of the country. The victim needs only to provide their personal and financial information for the soldier to deposit the funds into the victim's account.
Any e-mail that asks for personal financial information is likely a scam. The Florida Computer Crime Center urges recipients of these e-mails not to respond to them in any way whatsoever.

Run like heel this is the oldest scam on the net...Do you want to blow his mind tell him to send the Money order then tell him he must wait till it's verified by the company the check is from and see what happens....Hell dissaper or give you some lame reason why he cant wait..

[LT250Racer87]

well.. first guy.. didnt call ever. 2nd guy.. well see. everyone else thinks its a scam so far.

[sparkzilla]

If you were to cash the check and wait on it to clear before your quad left you or you sent his shipper the cash it would be great. But the more I think about it. I may have to change my mind and side with everyone else. If it was for real why would he send you the shippers money?? I guess I just didn't read it close enough. Maybe you better tell this guy to piss off.

[Flattrack]

He's hopeing for you to cash the Money order and give some one the 3000.00 before the bank says its no good . Then you 'r responsable for paying it all back hell no one even knows who this guy is so he gets your Quad and your cash,,,,or just the cash but you will lose either way..That's how it works

It's a scam. I got the same emails about the rm80 i'm tring to sell. He said he liked it and wanted to buy it and I didn't even send him a picture of it.

[Banshee]

Tell him to send his money order to his shipping buddy. Have the shipper cash the check then bring you cash then the shipper can take it. Simple way to get them to go away.

DONT DO IT somone just tried that same shit on my dad whos tryin to sell his 4020 deere. sent him way too much money and asked for the remainder to be western unioned to him. the money order turned out to be fake. so my dad just emailed the guy back and said "i got your money but instead of sending you the remainder im just going to keep it all."
