I've pasted a copy of the recent email I've received from someone I'm pretty sure is using a version of the previously mentioned scams. He's offering more than asking, and has not mentioned where the bike would be going. Smells funny?

Could be bad...inform him that you will need 15-20 days clearing time on the check before you ship it out since there has been a rash of forged money orders going around.

I'd go for cash or nothing.

did you hit control-k, 12 every time you entered a line? or have a slick setup where it always did it?

Really, then you must realize the channels that aren't filled with obnoxious 3 year olds have colour banned for a reason.

I believe the correct french term, ironically, would be "shorts". Unless you're speaking Quebecese.

I received the same type of letter/question from an ebay member. It was sent through "contact member" on my ebay auction. I responded and had it post on my auction along with his inquiry. Hiding my email address of course.
I told him "If he was interested he could use the buy it now button and I accept paypal" I never heard from him again.

It is a scam!!!

If you have to ask, then its not worth trusting.

ladyhawk 06-20-05 02:29 PM

Thanks all. I told him to get stuffed.
