Wow, Check this out. It looks like onld Strahan is at it again. Saw an ad in the local Atlanta Paper for a 2004 Harley Ultra listed for $5500 which has a street value of about 15K. This guy is slick and the following is a transcript of a some e-mail traffic we have had.-----Original Message-----From: John Strahan [mailto:[email protected]]Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 6:45 AMTo: Subject: RE: 2004 Ultar ClassicHi there Art, Thank you for your interest in my bike.  My 2004 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic FLHTCUI is still available. The bike is in excellent condition, has no scratches, dents or hidden defects. Has an accident free history.It is still registered in the States and has a clear title. I am the first and only owner.I have recently moved to Edmonton, Canada to start a new business with my brother and I brought the bike here too.As you probably noticed, the price is rather low: $5,500. Shipping and handling fees to US will be $600, and i am  willing to pay half so the final price is $5,800 and the bike will be delivered to your address.Genuine reason for sale: unfortunately a divorce is forcing me to sell it under market value.Due to amount involved and the fact we can't deal in person, I only accept third party mediator.For more pictures please visit my gallery:http://picasaweb.google.com/strahan331/Harley?feat=directlinkPlease reply ONLY if you are a serious buyer and you have the funds ready.All the best! JohnWhen I told him that I wanted to see the bike and hand him cash in person, this is what he sent me;Hi Art,The sale will be conducted through a third party, Yahoo Finance. You will send the money to Yahoo Finance and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the bike, and once you receive it and you have 7 days for inspection. If you are satisfied with the bike and decide to keep it you must inform Yahoo Finance about this and they will release the money to me. If the bike is not as described or if you find any problems with it (I'm sure this is not the case because it's a state of art looking and working bike) and decide not to keep it, Yahoo Finance will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back of the bike will be my concern. I think this is fair for both of us.I will ship the bike from here with DTD transport, door to door service and will arrive in 3-5 days depending on location. The bike will be delivered directly to your address. I will use DTD transport to ship the bike because I have worked with them and they are very fast and secure.There will not be any custom fees due the fact the bike is still registered in the States.You will receive from me the Title signed over to you properly and the Bill of Sale Notarized so you can register the bike in your name.If you want to proceed with the transaction please email me your full name and a shipping address so i can register our transaction with Yahoo Finance. After that they will contact you with all the details.Thank you, JohnI wish we could find this guy and get the the authorities after him

WE LOST $5800.00 IN THIS SCAM. THE NAME BEING USED IS JOHN STRAHAN. [email protected] IS HIS EMAIL ADDRESS. I AM SICK OF PEOPLE BEING PREYED ON BY THOSE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE HONEST. WE WIRED THE MONEY TO A BANK IN LAS VEGAS. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE BANK AND THE FBI. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL CATCH THESE PEOPLE.

this guy is running ads in a Charlotte, NC paper trying to sell his Harley.  Using a out of service 866 number & giving the brother with cancer story.

SAME SITUATION on Harley Davidson 2007 Softtail for $4300. ALLEN PERRY says Brother has cancer and needs to sell bike. I am from California. Ive had 3 contacts with him, last one today (10/1/2009). DO NOT FALL FOR IT! What goes around comes around. ALLEN PERRY is due his. Thank God for google and the rest of the people who have reported Allen Perry as a fraud.

This joker is trying to run the same scam in Southern MI going by the name of Allen Perry from Paris, MO the # he is using now is 248-605-8538. Same cancer story only now his brother died. He wants to use yahoo finance, i tried going to look at the bike but he keeps giving me the run around. Looks like i got lucky..Thanks to everyone for their posts.

Sounds like the same guy who ran an add in an Ashland, OH newspaper. He went by the name of Allen Perry and said he was from Paris, MO. Sent me to a website that had pictures of the bike and guess what...got a virus on my computer! At least that's the only bad thing that happened to me...remember...If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Oh yeah, got the "brother has cancer" story. Hope this scumbag gets cancer for all the grief he's caused people!

I was one of the unfortunate people who fell victim to this guy. He said his name was Michael Thomas and the agent was Arnold Crutcher through Yahoo! Finance supposedly. I thought I was buying a Yamaha Repsol motorcycle in the Kansas City Star but got scammed. I reported to the FBI, please everyone report this guy so the FBI will take notice and find this guy. They can only start looking into these internet cases when the same scam artist continually gets people. He definitely has a pattern, and it's only a matter of time before he scams the wrong person. I too got the cancer story and felt sympathetic to his reasons for selling. Also, I talked to this guy about the motorcycle for almost a month, he is very convincing and committed to ruining people's lives. So, everyone please take cation because I do not want anyone else losing thousands of dollars to somebody who doesnt deserve a penny let alone deserve to live.

He's trying it in Indiana too. There is an internet scam report site. If you do a search for reporting internet scams a site comes up. I am going to report him too. I think we all should. I mean come on if it sounds too good to be true it is too good to be true.

Don't believe them.

This # is being used by John Anderson of 267 519 1299 of Reading PA. to sell a tractor worth about 30K to 40K for $5500.00.  When you send him cash at money gram thru, supposedly YaHoo, then you fax him at 206 203 3927, to let him know you sent the money to an agent of YaHoo Finance, which is a fake, then your money is gone and so is John.He uses Thomas Lee as an agent for YaHoo in NY.BE CAREFUL WITH THIS GUY, HE HAS A LONG LIST OF SCAMS.

this guy is doing scams
