Update:
"I forgot to ask you... This looks exactly like Lance Armstrong's Team Astana bike. Do you think maybe it is actually the bike he rode in the Tour Down Under? That would be SO cool!!!"
Response:
"i really not know if it is that bike..
you will see for yourself.
I need your name and address and we start the deal right now."

I will get a copy too.

I got an "invoice" from "eBay" directing me to go to my nearest MoneyGram office to transfer the money. I wish I could put the page up so you guys could see it.

tell him you already have a money gram made out for 2000 and see if you can send that to him and have
him mail you the differance.

tell him you have a friend interested in one a little smaller, and ask if he has the same bike in a smaller size.... my guess is this guy has plenty available for anyone willing to purchase!

Before this is over, you should let him in on our little "discussion" over here on BF. I'm sure he'll be pleased.

When he tells you where to send the money, you can tell him you've sent it. He'll say he's not recieved it, and then you can have fun calling him names for taking your "money".
BTW, did anyone hear the "This American Life" episode last year about scamming the scammer ...... that was one WILD story .... I was starting to feel bad for the original scammer !

Tell him that the account they wired the money to was one digit off, and the money went to the local police dept retirement account instead (or the Police Benevolent Fund). let him know that your contacting them now and giving his information so that they can properly wire him the money... and dont forget to apologize profusely for the mishap
