Add in local CL was for a 2009 Monster 696 with 2100 miles for. . .$3000. Red flag!

For fun, I inquired. Got no response. Inquired again...and received two responses in two separate e-mails on different days...both identical:

Hello,
Sorry it has taken so long to get back in touch with you.
First of all let me say that the Ducati Monster 696 is in excellent condition, it has never been dropped or laid down and I have a clear title. I don't want to get rich by it's selling, just want to give it to someone who will take good care of it. I'm an US Air Force MSgt. currently stationed in Little Rock Air Force Base, AR and the bike is here with me, I can have it shipped from here by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any shipping costs for you. Also I can arrange for a truck to transport it to your home address or you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping takes around 48 hours, depending on your location. If you are interested in purchasing the bike contact me back so I can provide you with more information. The bike has 2100 miles, year 2009, 696 cc Engine, Red Color.

MSgt. Josh Russo

PS. Sorry for the long email I've tried to touch all bases


Of course this is a scam. Why would he not simply sell it in Little Rock? Also surprising that the USAF is now providing free shipping for 400 lb motorcycles. Taxes hard at work I guess. In any case, I replied that I'm interested and asked what the next steps would be. I'm sure he'll want me to deposit money into an Ebay escrow account or such.

Gotta wonder how people like this sleep at night.
