Hey guys, I am looking itno buying a 2005 trx450r sport quad ( honda of course[8D], lol) from a guy in edmonton alberta. I live in Fort McMurray Alberta (about 4 hours away from this city). The only thing is this guy is overseas right now working in scottland as a engineer on a petro platform (so he tells me). Now I have nothing wrong with this, if it is true, but he tells me the quad is in custody of a shipping company in their warehouse in ontario (different province) ready for crate shipping with all the paper work and such, with a company called http://www.worldwidecargusfreight.net. How the sale will work is I will pay the transaction on their website and the company will hold the money and have the quad shipped to me. Until it arrives and I have inspected it, the money will not be forwarded to the seller. Sounds good enough. So what do you guys know or think: is http://www.worldwidecargusfreight.net a real company or is this some kind of fraud i should flee from? heres the link if you want to see their page and quad. P.S. I cannot find any info on google about this company.

THE COMPANY:

i'd probably not buy something from someone when they claim to be over seas trying to sell something, unless i could meet up with a family member of theirs with the thing for sale. Just better safe then sorry

 

We just sold our 2004 450r for $3500..wish I would have know someone wanted one. didnt think to post it on HCF though

 

dam, that would have been cool to buy your quad, and thanks for the advice fiirkan, i guess i will go see another one i can actually look at and meet the person, its a 2002 trx400ex sport quad for 2800, also in edmonton, but anyone else that might no something about the company

 

I wouldn't take a chance. There are plenty of people selling stuff legitimatly to even take a chance. Keep looking for a sale where you meet in person and trade cash for the title.

 

sounds like good advice, ill take it and just go find something else, thanks everyone!
