BEWARE TRIUMPH HURRICANE SCAM
You may have seen the Hurricane on here advertised by Pawel Pochcial in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Very detailed photos of a superb Hurricane all looking very genuine - matching numbers, three crankcase numbers also matching - so temptingly good. Title in his name. Utility bill with his name and address. I got hold of the Rock Springs Honda & Toyota dealer in an attempt to check out the authenticity of Pawel and he told me that he knew the people at 206 Bluebonnet Cir and they were friends of his. Definitely not Pawel Pochcial and not selling a Triumph Hurricane. Pawel wanted me to send all the money to his daughter's account in a bank in which she worked. Obviously I did not. Look out for this and similar scams. Pawel also recommended a shipper - £620 to the UK delivered to me. The website page he directed me to looked genuine but none of the links worked. The email reply from the so-called shipper was phrased in the same bad-English way as the replies from Pawel himself. Nuff said.
