Thanks for your email,
First of all, My name is james carl! I'm in the United States Air Force (SMSgt E-8) and am not in town at the moment as am currently in base and stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base. Also, we are not allowed to make or receive calls frequently for security reasons but we have internet access and that is our major means of communication to the outside world. Am purchasing this for my son as a Christmas present gift and he's not aware of this because am making it as a surprise gift. So can you assure me i won't be disappointed buying this from you ? I have a hauler carrier agent that will be coming for the pick up and i have a few questions for you about it.
Whats its condition, any damages?
Are you the original owner and why are you selling it ?
Does it has any mechanical issues ?
How many miles does it has?
Do you have the title in hand ?
Loan on the title?
Do you have a verified account with PayPal ?
Do you have any offer's yet ?
Looking forward to read back from you.
Then I emailed him this.

Thanks for getting back to me Jay,
I do appreciate the way you answered my questions!. I'm satisfied with it's condition and i believe i won't be disappointed. I want you to know am serious in purchasing it and am sure he's gonna love and enjoy it more than you did. Well it a very good idea to see what am buying my self but am a very busy type i have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment and sign all necessary documents transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the hauler agent on my behalf also i would love to assure you that the Bike wont leave your side until the money is in your account and clears i will be patient with you as am an honest man and a man of my word so once all this is done then we can now both schedule the pickup time and date.
I would have loved to send the pick up agent with the cash or cashier check but they don't deal with cash transaction between buyer and seller and i want you to know that PayPal is the best online payment and they protect their customer the both seller and buyer, So i will like to advice you that you should try to get PayPal account is very easy to setup visit www. paypal .com and get back to me with the email address you used to sign up for the account so that i can proceed with the payment as soon as possible.
I have not yet responded back but did call paypal. and they said I would be protected. but the money
would go threw right away to my account. We was worried about him stealing the bike, but know reading on
here, Im not sure what he is trying to pull. Jay can't open a pay pal anyways. What should I do. I wish
I could report him to someone. I'm glad I put his name in, and some how this site came up. with different
names then James Carl his new identity.
