The same scam being perpetrated via a Annapolis, Maryland newspaper. Same sob story, pics of Harley low rider, etc.. I did same as one of the above by saying I have relatives all over NJ and could have them pick it up. Response was same motorcycle shipping gmail address that prompted call from "Brandi" who is hardly understandable. I've worked in the federal law enforcement arena for over 30 yrs. Because this scam is be committed across state lines, it is a federal matter. I plan to refer this to my federal partners but suggest the best thing all of you can do is to do the same. Because in the federal arena, this is relatively low dollar stuff, we need to generate enough complaints to get attention to it. All need to send any info you have, names, phone numbers, addresses, copies of emails, etc. to agencies such as the FBI, FTC, Postal Inspectors, IRS Criminal Investigation and your state attorney generals. This has gone on way too long.
