Does yahoo deals with value transactions when buying a bike? please read the add below that was email to me tx

Question

The bike it's just how I bought it, one year ago, garage keept most of the time. I don't know what has been done to the bike. Anyway they did a great job because everything works and looks great. The bike's condition right now it's 100% the one in the pictures.I'm sending you all the pictures I have.2003 Harley Davidson 100 Anniversary Softail Standard, No Loan or lien, clear title, Mileage: 4,670 miles, Engine size: 1450 cc Type: Standard 88ci motor (silver) completely chromed out w/ HD OE parts. This bike is in pristine condition. If you like the bike, I can explain how Yahoo! Finance works. Here are the transaction steps: Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms, Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes a description of the merchandise, sale price, number of days for the Buyer's inspection ( 3 days ).

Buyer Pays:The Buyer submits a payment proof. Yahoo! Finance verifies the payment.

Seller Ships Merchandise Upon payment verification, the Seller is authorized to ship merchandise and submit tracking information. Yahoo! Finance verifies that the Buyer receives the shipment.

Buyer Accepts the Merchandise The Buyer has a set number of days for an inspection and the option to accept or reject the merchandise. (in this case 3 days)

Yahoo! Finance Pays the Seller

If this is ok with you please reply with your complete name, address and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and move forward with this deal. You will also need to make a free Yahoo! e-mail account in order to receive the invoice.

Thank you,

Michael

PS: I can ship you the bike for $550, the bike will be delivered in 4 days, you'll pay the shipping fees when you'll get the bike.

Answer 1

You are about to be cheated so beware.There is no such thing as Yahoo Finance which deals in sale/purchase or verifies transactions.

Answer 2

sorry but id pass only any deal that i couldnt see or drive it before money is exchange.. one the money has been pass then the deal is done and your stuck with what you got.... sure it might be a good deal but still im sure you could find one somewhere where you could really look or ride before buying it... much smarter also

Answer 3

Uncle Jed is wrong this time.  Sure there is a Yahoo finance.

But what it is...well, let's just quote them, shall we?

At Yahoo! Finance, you get free stock quotes, up to date news, portfolio management resources, international market data, message boards, and mortgage rates that help you manage your financial life.

But what you have is a well known scam.  Yahoo finance is not involved in the way it's stated in the email, they don't verify payment or act in any way as a broker.

Report this scam, and save your cash.  You'll never see a bike.

Answer 4

This is a scam. Yahoo! Finance does not get involved on transactions such as this.

Also, another clue to the scam is the "I'll ship you the bike, you have 4 days to inspect" part. Common on scams like this.

Run, far away from it. I know you want to believe it, and I'm sure the price is too good to be true, but it's a scam. You WILL lose your money.
