Got emails from this guy over the last 2 days.  It appears he is back using the address eksucycle01@gmail.com to run scams.  This time he is asking for a green dot moneypak to be used to place $500 on it for shipping charges.  He is also using Kim Ford again.  I got several fake emails from PayPal posing as the real thing.  All of those emails originated from eksucycle01@gmail.com.  The scam is place $500 on the Green Dot card and send me the PIN and account info and then PayPal release the full purchase price money to your PayPal account.  The grammar is really bad in those fake emails also.  He is also using the same exact wording in emails about buying my cycle on cycle trader as others have posted here.  

recd the same bulls**t from him he wanted to buy my trike unseen just send him my pay acct plus he said he was in the military wish they could find him and put him in the front lines

I just got this from him:

have seen,it is priced favorably compared to others so I want you to
consider it sold to me because I am ready to buy it for the asking
price.I am Tech Sgt Ken Grandy currently on duty serving the
country.Presently I am out of town on duty in a remote area until

and text messages works best for me.Nevertheless,I am ready to seal
the deal right away and pay you via my PayPal account that is attached
to my bank account as it is the only secure form of payment that I
have access to right now. So,kindly get back to me with your

i got am email about him wanting to buy my sons dirtbike.  Thanks for posting this so I could see it wasnt real.

I have received the same emails from S-head Ken Grandy and have forwarded them to Cycletrader to assist with the fraud attempts. They responded promptly and stated they would look into it.

Sad that this stupid b-turd is using our armed forces as a disguise to rip us all off, what a disgrace!

Today he is sgtkenn0@gmail.com.  I posted a bike in cycletrader yesterday and got a message last night stating that there was a lead with the message: "Hello is your bike still for sale ??get back to me with your firm price for further correspondence..TY".  I went ahead and responded answering his questions to which he responded almost immediately via email, stating, "I got your mail. Well, I have read through your ad and
from what I have seen,it is priced favorably compared to others so I

I wonder though if it isn't a computer response, etc... as my message to him told him I was a cop and he still responded with this crap.  AMAZING how many of these type scams are going right now.  Anything to make a quick dollar I suppose.

I posted on cycle trader and got the exact same email as Tyler previously stated. I think to use the US military for a scam is so wrong. I thank all of you for your posts. You have saved me from a lot of hassle.  I have nothing but admiration for the people that defend this country, and to use that to scam people is an OUTRIGHT DISGRACE!

Either this guy is still sending the messages or the message I got saying "Hello is your bike still for sale ??get back to me with your firm price for further correspondence..TY" is legit. I doubt it.

Got the same email yesterday. Exact same wording answering a cycle trader ad I had.  Wanted my email for PayPal which is fine but didn't give my "address for pickup".  

Googled him after he mentioned the Western Union shipping "issue".  Thanks for the posts.

Using email: sgtken09@gmail.com

Just got an email from sgtkengrandy09@gmail.com. He was answering an add I have on cycle trader. Thanks guys, I googled his name and got this. You saved me headaches.

We'll what do you know, I just ran into the "Same Sgt Ken Grandy sgtken6@gmail.com he wants to buy my bike off
Cycletraders.com What a "Dick"  I'm a Vet.  he needs to be shown the proper way to show respect.  March 14, 2014

Got same message about my trike from this jerk.. I was pretty sure it was scam. I guess its better to take other peoples money  than to work for it..

Watch out for artificial email he also used barshannon.beryl@gmail.com. His first email was sent from that address. Anyone have any emails from a Theresa?

I almost fell for this jerk. What a piece of work.  I wouldn't run him over with my harley. ( I love my bike.) But if he shows up here, he'll have more to worry about than tread marks on his forehead!!!

new email sacmmer address   sgtken6@gmail,com

Yep...got a hit on an ad in CycleTrader from sgtken6@gmail.com.  Thanks for the postings, guys!  You've saved me a lot of trouble!

Word for word as your's. His name came across as Ken Kene, sgtken00@gmail.com and introduced himself as Tech Sgt Ken Grandy all in one email. At least if you are going to be a crook, don't over look the small details in your lie.

I'd love to run him over with my Harley he wants to buy for impersonating military personnel. That's what really pisses me off.

I posted my HD nightster and got an email from Sgt Ken.  He used the sgtken07@gmail.com email with me.  I'm really glad I just googled his name and found you guys!!

I received the same email. The address was sgtken07@gmail.com

They send you a fake paypal email so you think you got the money. Then they ask you to send a western union money order for shipping (but they send you shipping funds to paypal....yea right). A buddy of mine fell for this scam. Shipping is usually around $500....so you'll be out that amount. He's using sgtken07@gmail.com and sent this email to me....

I got the same message from sgtken5@gmail.com.

I got the same message from this piece of trash. What a low life. Especially using the military as a cover! I am USMC myself and would be more than happy to meet this jerk in person (with a cattle prod in my hand). Isn't what he's doing illegal? I think instead of complaining about him do something! I'm going to the cops myself. If they won't do anything maybe one of the local tv stations will.

He just responded to an ad for my bike. Seemed like a scam and here I find this thread. Thanks!!

Yep, Sgt, Ken Grandy smells bad from 1000 miles away.  Pisses me off that people make a living cheating other people and I have to work hard to make a living.

Says he wants to be vehicles from me without asking any questions about the vehicles whatsoever.  Just say's he is sure that mine are what he wants and when he returns from a remote location he will take delivery.

This guy pretending to be a military noncommissioned officer turns my stomach as a senior officer.  If he were under my command, he would be placed in a remote location.

This guy is too stupid to nail too many suckers.

Yes I recieved same email from this piece of s__t. Some nerve to claim hes in the services.
This clown emailed me about everything I had listed on cycletrader. Beware hes using kengrandy001@gmail.com sgtken70@gmail.com
I emailed this clown and told him to come and check out the bikes so I can put my foot up his a_s.
I even forwarded his previous emails to him. I haven't heard anymore from him. Screw this guy he is going to ruin it for people that actually want to purchase the bikes.

Received a message from sgtken70@gmail.com. Same as your message except he has changed his address.
I do not understand how the scam would work.  He would need our Paypal password to do anything.  Would the next step be to ask for our password?

Hmmm I just received and email about my Harley on Cycle trader as well from sgtken8@gmail.com


Guess he will not get a reply from me

He is now going by Sargent Ken Grandy at sgtken8@gmail.com posing as a military person! The nerve! Here is his message:

Same exact email! Just got a text from him on this number 1-706-810-0103. Don't respond at all, he's messed up!
