Courier Freight Inc

I am trying to buy a four wheeler from this guy that used to live in my state. But now he is moving to London, United Kingdom for his job, the bike is now in Olympia, WA and his wife is going to ship it to me. The website that he told me to go to is Courier Freight Inc. that ships vehicle around the world. So far what I have looked at on this website is that it seems legit but I would like to have more peoples opinion on it.

Trying to use the same firm, can't find out if they are real. They want me to wire funds to a bank in the UK? does any one know if they are OK?

My wife has already deposited the Gator at the shipping company warehouse ... i have started and accepted the transaction and also received a copy of the invoice ... now i'm waiting from you to complete the payment so the shipping can be started to your address .... in order to complete the payment you have to make a bank wire transfer for the amount of $3500 to the shipping company bank account:

Bank Account Details:

Account Name: Courier Freight / Bakos Peter
Sort Code: 204273

Swift Code: BARCGB22

After you complete the wire transfer you have to send a scanned copy of your wire transfer receipt along with our transaction # to [email protected] so you can confirm your payment .... let me know after the wire transfer is complete ... also after the shipping is started you will receive a tracking # so you can track the JD during the shipping process .

Thank you.

I have reported this to the Bank at '[email protected]'

Man he did the same thing to me. He told me that his wife had deposited the atv at the courier shipping Inc to be delivered to me too. That I was suppose to send the money to the freight company and that they would hold it till I received the atv and ok'd it. Then I was suppose to contact the freight co. And then they would release the money. And I'm sure it's the same atv. A 2012 brute force. He wants 4500 for it.

Welcome countryboy. Thanks for adding to this topic.
Please note that the ad the scammer has placed is fake, and likely copied from someone else's real ad. He doesn't have an atv. The scammer is also playing the role of the supposed courier.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the scam.
