Too bad it is usually only those of us who own one already that hear of this crap, but here is another example:

Subject: [Hayabusa] Bike ad scam
There was an ad in our small community paper for a 03 Hayabusa with
1243 miles for $5000. Obvious scam. The seller did not provide a
phone number, only an email address. I looked up his email on Google
(NLNEVE2@AOL.COM)and found that this guy has posted the same ad in
small town newspapers across America for the past three months. I
decided to play along.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I saw your ad in the paper today. Do you still have the bike? I
would like to see it.

Hello,
How are you?
Thank you for your interest in my 2003 Suzuki Hayabusa.
This bike is powered by a 1300cc engine in great runing condition. It
looks perfectly and runs acordingly. It is super clean, has excellent
brakes and tires and is ready to ride. This is a great looking, great
running bike. You will find no damages, scratches, cracked plastics
or bent metals on it. Stored in a climate controlled garage its
entire life. It carries the factory warranty. This bike is perfect in
every way. Unable to tell from new!
Barely ridden by adult, kept in garage all the time. Only 1283 miles.
Clear title in hand and ready to sign. Owners manual in English. Bill
of sale provided once with the bike. I am the only owner.
All documents, including owner's manual in english, clear title and
bill of sale will be provided along with the bike.
I am located in London, United Kingdom. I was promoted and I moved
here last month with my family. I took the bike with me and I took
great care of this beauty. Now I am looking for a sale because I have
to put up a payment for my house and I need the cash.
I attached a few pictures of the bike. I have more, so just ask.
Get back to me asap so we can talk more.
Thank you!
Danny

Sounds cool. Give me your number and lets coordinate. Where is the

Hi,
I dont have a phone# yet I just moved here. Shipping point: London,
UK. I cover the shipping fees.
I am willing to accept a US$2,000.00 deposit on my name and actual
address to close the deal. This way I will have a sign from you that
you are a serious buyer and you have the money for me. The deposit
will be made by wire transfer so we can close the deal right away.
This is a sign of trust and just a deposit to close our deal. I will
not pick up the funds, only check if they are there. After I see that
the funds are available I will start delivery same day from London on
my expense. I will expect the rest of the money after you inspect the
Hayabusa or take it to a mechanic for his OK.
If you dont like it, you will send me the bike back on your expense,
and you will take your money back right from Western Union after
that. They will hold the money meantime and you can withdraw at any
moment if you dont get the Suzuki in a few days.
Danny
