Hello. I am a newbie here. I have a pretty interesting stroy.  I have never owned abike before and have always been a lover of the sport bike.  My wife and i recently received our taxes back so I thought I would use my half for a down payment on my first bike.  Well my wife told me to just go ahead and use the money to buy a buy and then use the title to get a secured loan.  I found a bike at www.cycletrader.com for 2400. Long strory short- I sent the money just like we had arranged through a wire transfer by western union. Problem- I NEVER RECEIVED THE BIKE! So I decided to search the company to find out if any body else had bought anything through the shipping company where the bike was being held.  Come to find out it was a SCAM! So now I have no bike, No money for a down payment and a pregnant wife (due any day now) that im scarred is going to be really pissed off at me.  I have reported this incident to ic3 with the FBI. What do I do now? How do I tell her?  Im so lost and hurt right now.  

I wanted to share this incident with the world. I am going to sign up with as many forum websites as I can to help and alert other people. The website is www.ship-american.com.  Here is another link that shows what to look for.
