I responded to an ad on Craigslist listing a 1970 Bonneville Triumph for sale. Here is the \"seller\'s\" July 13, 2012, response, which is nearly identical to other responses related to known scams by this person:

Hello,
My name is Maria, and I\'m emailing you about the 1970 Triumph Bonneville I have for sale. The bike is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Flawless condition, no scratches and no dents. It has never been involved in an accident. The mileage is 5,375, with an 650cc engine size. It has a clear title with noloans or liens on it. The price was reduced at $3,900 as I need to sell the bike before the 24 of July when I will be leaving with my platoon back to Afghanistan, so I don\'t want getting it old in my backyard.If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask.Here are some pictures of my bike: http://photobucket.com/triumph-70

Thank you,
Maria

I knew there was something fishy about the whole thing, the car had alot of custom work done and appeared to have a supercharger/turbocharger with a custom dynotune.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
