Hello,
I'm tony from las vegas, NV. I am the proud owner of a F800GS and quite happy with it.
Looking forward to being a member of BMW MOA and its benefits.
However I would like to alert members to a phishing scam.
recently posted my womans F700GS for sale on the Marketplace. She loves it but doesn't ride enough to feel comfortable riding.
After posting I received an email offer through the BMW MOA Marketplace.
long story short after going back and forth via email it turned out to be a scam. dammit It's such a nice bike too.
Someone took the time and money to join BMW MOA just to scam. Points for creativity.
watch out and seller be aware. I expect this from craigslist but was quite surprised to have someone go
to the trouble.
Since i'm new I never though to see if you have to be a member to make offers on bikes through the marketplace page.
oh well lesson learned
P.S. no money was lost I just feel like a knucklehead.
