Scam alert!
Been looking for a sandrail on various web sites etc. Found a couple on Glamis dunes.com, three of the adds I emailed came back with the same BS,I asked where they are located to see the buggy and a phone number, all three are on vacation in Europe...
Yep, just fell off the turnip truck,so I email the webmaster and tell them, no response...Geez, doesn't anybody care!!!!!!
Here's the email I got back from all three...
Hello,
It is to a shipping, third party company called Online Shipping Worldwide,
www.gold-services.org . To avoid any kind of complications related to shipping and other stuff i have contacted this company, they came to my door and took to their warehouse .
It's is in perfect condition, will come with all the paperwork including bill of sale, everything, first owner .
Free shipping. Five days of inspection with www.gold-services.org< /A> , you can refuse it, they will take it back and refund you. If you like it after the 5 days the company will release the money to me and the transcation is ended.The company will bring it in front of your door.

Pretty common scam these days. You will find it on e-bay, craigs list, etc...
Maybe the safest place to look is classified ads where people have to pay to list them, although some scammers may be willing to make the "investment" in a paid advertisement also.
Unfortunately, it's tougher to find honest deals anymore.
