It's probably not "hot" ... more like non-existant .... like the Ebay scams. Post a picture from the internet and find a sucker to send you money.

I have a "junk" email account, and I've responded to a few scammers .... string them along for a bit as they get excited that I'm about to send them a check ......

I will need your name and address to start that"

"Oh, ok. So I guess you know a lot about bikes. I am very interested in getting this bike.
I looked at DAS - they ship cars and motorcycles. Why are you having them ship the bicycle? Everyone uses UPS.
I think it's a good idea to use eBay as it offers protection for both the seller and the buyer. So, you are going to put the bike up on eBay so I can do a "buy now" and we can have a completed transaction? Is that how it works?"
