I'm messaging someone named James right now also said grandson died . Wonder if it is the same person. Did he say he moved to ga? He said he's shipping with fastway shipping

NOW THEY'RE ON CRAIGSLIST!!! I'm emailing back and forth with them now! This is sooooo sad. Telling me there grandson died and it brings back too many memories...awful. Thank God something in my spirit told me to search his name online.

She just tried to scam me today. I got a bogus story about a free Yamaha a guy needed to get rid of that he had bought for his grandson that passed away. They tried to get me to send $560 for the delivery of a motorcycle. The ad was on Craigslist. Too bad for them I have a lot friends that are cops. Hopefully their scamming days are over!

Brandi Boyle.

they will reply with either "we do not allow pick up" which was said to me or my brother got "we have no set place of business"

we had the same story! with the same names from alabama.. they wanted 660 from us..

they changed the email address to: motorcycleshippinginc@gmail.com

i got the same story only for a 2006 kawasaki ninja zx-636R from alabama.. when we offered to pick it up they called us and said they have no "solid address" and their website is under construction..

Brandi emailed us... Denise Lewis was who the money transfer is for and Michael Wills was the "grandfather"

A man named James Kamada just called our newspaper, new guy answered and I overheard conversation, he wanted to run a classified liner.  New guy was struggling to understand his thick accent, I heard "free motorcycle" and told him "SCAM"!!!  "James" gave a credit card number with a local billing address, guarantee it's stolen credit card info.  He gave email for reply in the ad, jkamada11@yahoo.com, he didn't want a phone number in the ad.  EVERY detail of this call was the mark of a scam, we didn't run the credit card and are obviously not going to run the ad.  I wish more people at local newspapers recognized the signs of these scams, it would help prevent their local readers from getting fleeced.

Yeah I just dealt with the same thing and an almost identical email. The guy said his name was Michael Wills with almost the exact same story. And then the same Brandi Boyle from the Motorcycle Shipping Company motorcycleshippinginc@gmail.com
with the email address as shown. Glad I checked it out first. Also they called from a 609-614-0732. offered to ship it from NJ to me for $560. Hope this helps

The same people just pulled a completely different scam to rent a condo in stratton, vt.  Wanted me to wire money to Alfonzo miller in jersey city.  Same address as everyone else received.  I didn't do send him anything but wanted to include this on here as well.

He went by Robert Simpkins.  

This guy goes by another name - Michael Wills!  The email I received is very identical to what everyone has posted.

Hey everyone! This IS a scam! Same thing JUST happened to me in yucaipa CA.! The person went by brani boyle feeding me the same exact lines that are in this thread of posts. I confronted "brandi" about it stating that once I googled the company it didn't show up...he said it was under construction. I said once I added his name to the search, I found this tjread. I confronted him about it stating that the only way I will buy the bike is if i send him an email as a contract stating that the capital of the company covers the shipping cost and once the bike is delibered at my doorstep then I will pay in full but if the bike does not arrive then I will sue for 1.2 milliin dollars for fraud. He got all sceptical and said that he will contact michael wills and see if it is ok. Then I asked so when I call you back later, is this number going to be disconnected? And he said I will have another person do the business with you. So I called him out on b***s*** and fraud and he basically hung up on me. I wish I had the technology to trace cell phone calls so I can find this a***ole and beat him an inch from death.  Do NOT GIVE IN TO THIS CHAOS!

Same thing here,I even asked if themotorcyle was safe, I even told him I would pray for him and his family. I knew it was to good to be true when. He said the city the ad was placed!!!  Oh btw his name is now Mike Willis.  Thank you so much for posting.g this I was about to send my rent mo eyes so my son couldhave a nice.graduation gift.   A scam is one thing. Bit you don't say you have a dead grandson,  that's just wrong.

Call the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Division and give them all of the information, including phone numbers and emails.  Let's get these guys.

The same scam being perpetrated via a  Annapolis, Maryland newspaper.  Same sob story, pics of Harley low rider, etc..  I did same as one of the above by saying I have relatives all over NJ and could have them pick it up. Response was same motorcycle shipping gmail address that prompted call from "Brandi" who is hardly understandable.  I've worked in the federal law enforcement arena for over 30 yrs.  Because this scam is be committed across state lines, it is a federal matter.  I plan to refer this to my federal partners but suggest the best thing all of you can do is to do the same.  Because in the federal arena, this is relatively low dollar stuff, we need to generate enough complaints to get attention to it.  All need to send any info you have, names, phone numbers, addresses, copies of emails, etc. to agencies such as the FBI, FTC, Postal Inspectors, IRS Criminal Investigation and your state attorney generals.  This has gone on way too long.  

They are still working this scam in missouri with the harley dont do it total rip off. Wonder if state attorney general can help.

Just today 03/11/2014      My family and I were in contact with these same people....  thier scam to us was a 2004 Yzf r6. We were all set to go send the $550 they were asking us for... then we decided that it was too good to be true, so i started looking up names.. I found you after typing in James Kamanda.... Thank you for saving us lol.  I'm sooo glad to have found this valuable information.  they were going to ship it from New Jersey to us here in Maine for $550... Whew.. thank god we thought about it.. or my son would have been heartbroken...

was interested in the dyna as well good thing i was looking into it and found this page before i sent any money.  Missouri

They got me for $270 They told me to wire half and pay the other half COD Here some names they give James Kamanda  Kamandaj13@yahoo.com  motorcycleshipping.co@gmail.com The one that i wire the money too Alfonzo Miller 308 Central Ave Jersey City NJ 07307  Brandi Boyle Still trying to get me to sent the other half. I don't know what to do, They need to caught. John Jackson  johnjackson3241953@yahoo.com

I mean if I live in nj why do I need it shipped why can't I pick it up of course no response anyway here's the email....Mr Stephan Pickett owns the motorcycle, I have it packed in my truck already moving down to his house in NJ, before he contacted me his giving out the bike to someone in the state where the bike was registered to receive it from me.

Brandi Boyle.

He just called our newspaper to place the same scam ad. His number that he gave is 609-614-0732.

I just responded to the same ad in SW Florida, same story same song and dance.
I thought it was a scam, just sounded too good to be true.
Same names ,same towns, same BS.
Hopefully someone will catch them.

I found the ad in a small town newspaper in Oklahoma, seemed funny it was free, however I just thought it was wrecked. So I sent the guy an email, and got the exact same message as the rest of you. I happen to have a dear friend in Jersey, so instead of contacting the "motorcycle moving company" I just told the guy I have a friend who can come by and pick it up until I can get up there this spring. He has yet to reply, and I have a pretty good feeling he never will.

They have been trying to git me  for 500 i am still playing along thanks for all the info

We were both buying the bike at the same time. I sent you a personal e-mail. I got suspious when they wanted the money sent via money gram to a privvate name, not a company, no  invoice number or company name and phone number. Also the motorcycle moving company had way too many grammerical errors. It had the feel of them being foreigners as they tried to use the expression safe and sound, but said it backwards. I really trust the Lord and I am sooooooooo thankful that He led me to farther look into it and I'm thankful that so many of you stopped prior to purchasing..... nothing.
By the way, my letter from the owner was identical to all the other's too.

    The Lord will deal with them........I'm not sweating it, but I will pass the word around.

Wow,I am in the middle of "negotiating" with him right now.Is this for sure a scam? The email I received back is pretty close to the one you've posted for us.
is there any way of catching him? I'm supposed to get back with him and I was feeling all like a sap,lol,over his grandson.what a horrible thing to use.Has anyone tried asking him if they could come pick it up? Or if its drivable,?
Please email me if you have anymore info on this at meyowzza@gmail.com
thanks

A***oles were putting adds in small local newspapers! I got the same exact scam, thanks to your guys' posts I saved my self a lot of time and trouble.

I recieved a similar email from the same person. See below:

Hi ,
Thanks for your interest, The bike is still available .
I am currently located at my new house in New Jersey (NJ), I have already asked movers to bring the Bike down here to New Jersey (NJ) from my grand-son's house in the city where the AD was posted and was going to put up a new AD here in New Jersey (NJ) when the mover arrive, because my wife advised me to put up the ad on Craigslist as she doesn't want to see the bike anymore cos of the memory of our Grandson.

I bought the Motorcycle for my grandson as his birthday gift. Its 2004 Yamaha Yzf-R6 Sportbike,Mileage: 3,853,Engine Size: 600 cc  and it has a good title.It is some months now since he died and i would like to give it out and seeing the bike will bring back it memory and it makes us sad, as the house will be emptied soon and I myself will be relocating to Anchorage, Alaska where we shall stay with other family members for care.

If you are able to afford the delivery charges, so that I can coordinate the movers to return the bike to you where-ever you are located within the state as I only gave them the instruction yesterday evening, and I'm sure they will request for delivery fee from you.

Please let me know your position, you can reach the movers on: motorcycleshipping.co@gmail.com . I have attached some photo of it. This was taken two weeks ago.

Best Regards

I was really excited when I saw the bike on Craigslist for free. However my wife stopped me from buying the bike. I had even checked out the website of the shipping company, everything was legit. However, it was all just to good to be true. Don't let James Kamanda and his motorcycle on Craigslist fool you. It got my hopes up but then they were dashed.
