marty, are you up on triumphowners.com?
the day i signed up there, i got a similar email.
they think your triumph is a motorcycle,
and are trying to scam you into "selling" it.
here's the email i got:
Hello, I saw the advert placed on your Road Bike and will like you to
know i am interested in buying it.Please i will like you to send me some
pics and will like to know the condition of it as well.Moreso,i will
like to know the last price,and will like to know where it is
located.Please get back at me at soon as possible,GOD BLESS.... SINCERELY
YOURS.
Nb i will like you to reply me here aliceandford@yahoo.com
[TRIUMPH Owners.com] www.triumphowners.com
of course, i don't have a road bike, and i didn't place an ad to sell my
car anywhere.
perhaps they think triumphowners.com is an "auto trader" site.
whatever.
these people are scum, use your common sense and ignore them.

Subject: Scam ? Maybe?
I received an email from a Kenneth Owens of usedbikes consulting
International England (email HYPERLINK
"mailto:usedzbikez_boats@yahoo.co.uk"usedzbikez_boats@yahoo.co.uk)
concerning a car I have for sale. Usually I just delete these but this
fellow speaks pretty good English though his capitalization skills are
lacking in the email. The one thing that drew my attention is the last
line
in the email being I am looking forward to your prompt reply, which
seems
to be the same line all the other scam emails used when I get them. Has
anybody out there ever heard of this company? The pessimist in me tell me
they are out to get my money, ha, fooled them:-). If it is another
version
of the Nigerian scam emails it looks like they changed their M.O. and have
scrapped the bad English routine and are trying to look somewhat
professional to see if that works. Anyhow, has anybody out there ever
heard
of this company?
Thanks,
Marty
