Need input from anyone, especially those who reside in Europe...

[AirBorne]

Fellas,

I have a question here. I will try and explain myself as clear as possible.

Heres my situation...

I found a 2001 Yamaha R6 for sale. Dude lives in Europe. The bike is registered in New York- he sent me specific pics of the bike that I asked for and a pic of the VIN stamped onto the frame. He sent me his phone #, address, a picture ID, etc....he seems pretty trustworthy but I am still skeptical.

I am trying to see if this method he is suggesting will cover my ass. I want to send the money via Western Union to his address, but instead of putting his name, I would use somethin like this...first name "This-Is" last name "A-Fake-Name" so it would look like this.... This-is A-Fake-Name. Or, something along those lines so that he could not forge this "name" onto a fake ID to get the cash. I would also send instructions to the agent saying something like "DO NOT ALLOW FOR PICK-UP OF MONEY!!! HE SHOULD ONLY BE CHECKING THAT IT HAS BEEN SENT".

Anyway, he says that as long as I send the money to his address with a "name" other than his own, I need to let him know the MTCN, the amount sent, and the receiver's "name". When he checks online that the money is there, he says he will ship the bike. After I receive it and OK everything, then I go back and change the name to HIS name so he can receive the money. Wham Bham- I got a bike!


Sorry that took so long, but I really dont wanna get taken for a few grand...I would fucking flip out. I just need some input. Maybe some of you already know that this dude is a scammer and I just dont see it. Please fill me in. Especially those who live in Europe......would it still be possible for this guy to get ahold of the money I send out there even if the name on it isnt even a name let alone his own? Thanks for any help


Oh....he plans on using DHL to send the bike. Maybe the European Residence, Western Union payment, and DHL service is a "scammer's combo".....I just find it hard to believe that there are so many fraudulent fucks out there trying to steal our money. I already turned down 3 guys who wouldnt cooperate with my requests as far as sending money to a "name" that cant be forged- this guy is different. He is cooperating fully. I am just nervous about sending any money.

Peace

Even if I do the half before and half after thing.....I am still nervous about him runnin off with 2 grand.

Bottom line, my question is- "is it possible for someone overseas to procure funds from Western Union even if the name it is sent to is un-forgeable?"

Thanks fellas

You should set up an excrow acct somewhere. I cant think of anyplaces off hand, maybe paypal can do it for you.

What about having him place the bike for auction on E-bay? He doesn't have to let the auction run out he can just make sure your the winner by closing the auction with your bid. That way the whole transaction is secured through E-bay. Not sure if that would work but it could be an option.

they wont cover 4 grand for 1, for 2 , I dont think they would cover an account overseas...

dont do it that way airborne. you are asking to get burnt. Like bob said, do escrow. That is when you send to a company and they hold the money until you receive and are satisfied. I believe there is a co. affiliated with ebay that does this. I would be a little more patient and find one in the states. There will be deals come up near you. Otherwise do escrow. That is way too much money to trust western union. I got scammed on a digital camera/camcorder for 700 bucks over western union. they are cocksuckers that wont do anything to help

 

[jimbo69]

they just busted a dude in italy for the same scam he came off with like twohundred thousand.
hopefully u didnt go through with it.....................

Know you can`t use WU to send money with a fake name in Norway, but you should definetly check the spesific country.....
