Complaint Review: Adam Blanton - Paul Haslam - London Internet

This guy was trying to sell a motorcylce for what seemed too good to be true. this should have been my first clue to stay away. the more emails he sent the better i felt about the whole thing. i went through the entire process including doing a wire transfer. when i got back from that i immediately got back on here to try to contact him to let him know all was well. after not receiving an email back i tried calling and it wouldnt go through. i typed his phone number in on google and what do you know, the first website on google was "Ripoff Report". I saw what someone else had posted on here and the emails and they were exactly what he had sent me. i immediately called western union and canceled the transfer. i got my money back just in time and i feel very fortunate. i hope we find this guy and put him away. im only buying in person now.

The bike and all papers are already deposited at Alpha Transport (PVT) LTD ... i have started the transaction with your e-mail ... login into your Alpha Transport (PVT) LTD account and accept the transaction ... after that you will receive an invoice with the payment information.

What is your full name and address?

Waiting ....

This bike has a clear title and all papers come along with the bike. The price is $2900 shipping included. The bike is located in Pullman, WA . If you have any other questions do not hesitate to email me.
