Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was looking for motorcycles online through www.motorcycle.com. Through their website, I received a response from a gentleman who claims he had a motorcycle for me. He said he was deployed and needed to get rid of the motorcycle:

Here is how I sell the spyder, you can test it before I will receive the payment so we can both be protected.
The price is $5300 shipping included to your address. For this deal we will use Escrow as a third party and shipping company … after the payment is done to Escrow i will ship the spyder to you … after you receive the trike and the inspection is done you will contact Escrow to release the money to me … ( the shipping company will release the money to me only after you receive the spyder and the inspection is done ) … if you are ready to start this deal go to www.escrowvehicleshipper.com register with your e-mail address and let me know after that so i can start the transaction … after the transaction is started you will receive all info about the payment and shipping … i will tell you exactly when you receive the spyder after the shipping is started because they will provide us a tracking # so you can track it during the shipping process.
Here you can find how it works: www.escrowvehicleshipper.com/faq.php
If something is wrong with the trike or papers you will return it on my expenses and you will receive your money back but i assure you won’t be the case.
Thanks.
And it continued on
When I researched the legitimacy of the website, I ran into this website: https://www.dasautoshippers.com/newsroom/fraud-information-center
and if you compared the logos between both sites, you can see that dasautoshippers was mimicked by http://www.escrowvehicleshipper.com/contact.php
Very disturbing. I would have been at a loss and under stress.
