Extra-Delivery (PVT) Ltd. Formerly called Extra-Warehouse, Extra-Lines, etc.

They are currently advertising on http://www.cycleclassifieds.com, http://www.cycletrader.com, http://www.motorcycle.com/classifieds, http://www.cycletrades.com, http://www.motorcyclescan.com (and whatever other website they can find) base location of Eatontown, NJ; London, UK, Florida, and California for the 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000 (this is what I was looking for) listed on March 10, 2009 is a fraud, money scam. They use a fake shipping website (http://www.extra-delivery.com) to get your information and want you to wire cash. I was very skeptical about sending money to a shipping company that didn't have any contact information on their website. I emailed Ryan Barnes (aka Richard Duston aka Rayan Guzman) and he told me that they were having website trouble but they emailed him (not me since I'm the sender). I told him that I emailed them too but they didn't reply back to me. As soon as I told him that I think it was a scam, the website was temporarily disabled. He seemed very nice but very persistent. He has a great storyline about his wife being in NJ and he traveling on business in London. He has other advertisings also under the email address [email protected] (Ryan Barnes or Richard Duston) out of UK. I looked up the address where the bike was suppose to be in NJ and that's a doctor's office complex with a liquor store beside it. I looked up the address to recipient I was suppose to Western Union the funds to and that was a clothing store. Please catch this person(s) doing this....they are making a fortune, at least from the online fraud reports I've read. I wonder how many people haven't said anything and just counted it as a lost. They are supposedly on Ebay and Craigslist also. These sites need to monitor more closely about the false advertisings made.

BeWare. Do not trust all internet purchases where they insist you send cash.

When you will go at western union to complete the payment you must have $1800 cash money and around $100 the western union fees to send the money ... tell to the agent from western union that you want to send $1800 to this name and address:

First name: Richard
Last name: Duston
Address: 11 Wigmore Street
City: London
Zip: W1U 1PE
Country: United Kingdom

The agent will know what to do and will give you an receipt with the MTCN ( Money Transfer Control Number ) ... let me know after the payment is deposited ... you will receive the bike in 2-3 days but i will tell you exactly after the shipping is started .

Waiting ...

This bike has a clear title and all papers come along with the bike. The price is $2200 shipping included. The bike is located in Eatontown, NJ . If you have any other questions do not hesitate to email me.

If you do a google search on [email protected] you'll finds ads stating the bike's location as California, Germany and New Jersey with a mileage of 4,513 only.

Hopefully, not many people will think of buying a bike without viewing it, and the amount is low enough to pay by cash but these scammers are playing the odds, and even if 1 in 1,000 pay without asking to view, that's all pure profit to them.

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
