I found this bike, mint condition, 3300 Euro (2100 pounds ish) almost 12000 miles...
Sounds VERY cheap to me.
I sent him an email to which he responded within 2 hours saying he lives in Liverpool and the transport and payment would all be handled by a firm.
So I would have the bike shipped here for free in 3 working days, and pay the money to the agency....
Sounds very cheap to me.
I've sent him another email asking for a phone number so I can talk with him personally... |

Does seem pretty cheap for the money. Also is the shipping from Liverpool to Spain? If so I'd have thought that'd cost a fortune. Also would you be able to view the bike before handing over any cash? (might have said on the advert but afraid can't speak/read spanish ) |

Yes, you'll send the money to his 'agency', probably by Western Union, and never see this non-existent bike, or your money, again.
S-C-A-M
Why in God's name would anyone ship a bike to another country FOR FREE?!?!
He says the 'bike' is in UK because YOU are not, therefore he can try to coax your money out of you (cheap price, free shipping) without you asking to view it in person first.

Here is the entire procedure with all the steps which we have to do:
A. First you have to send me your shipping information: your name and address: street, number, city, country, zip code.
1. After I receive your shipping info, I will go to escrow company location and leave the motor on your name and with your shipping address as the intended receiver.
2. The escrow company service will check the motorbike also the legal papers to see that everything is OK with it.
B. You will receive a notification from escrow company service as a confirmation that the motorbike is in their custody and also, that the motorbike has been tested.
1. After that, you will have to send 50% of the entire value of the motorbike to escrow company service .
2. The escrow company service will verify the Transfer, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the motorbike to your door step in 3 working days.
3. After you will receive the motorbike and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will instruct the escrow company service with your decision and if you will keep it, you will pay the rest of the money to the escrow company.
C. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the vehicle, you will return the motorbike to the escrow company service with no expense.
Also i agree to give 7 days period to inspect motorbike and if you are not satisfied in it you will be fully refunded within 24 hours.
I
f you agree my terms please provide me your full name and address for shipping, so I can initiate the transaction through the escrow company service.
After that they will contact you with transaction details, invoice, payment instructions and more information about the escrow company service protection.
Best regards!
That's what he replied to me...Anyone heard of this company? It sounds so fucking brilliant it can't be true... |

Personally, i'd tell him to go fuck himself.
Try googling 'Escrow scam', see how many results are returned. I just did, and this was the first result:

Like Mudskipper wrote, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Scams like this rely on people like you being so desperate to get something for nothing - usually you end up with it being the other way around: nothing for something.
Another old saying that rings true is:

Are you not getting it?!?!
YOU will be giving him A GRAND for summit you've never seen, just because he sends you a few professional looking emails using forged headers.
There is NO BIKE, that text alone screams SCAM like a hysterical lunatic on acid.
Please end this now, don't fall for the tempting tricks these fuckers play.  ____________________ CBR125|||GSXR400|||CBR400|||CBR400|||CB250RS|||GSXR750|||CB250RS
