Basically seen a bike on Gumtree and enquiries as it was close. Looked like a genuine ad with decent pics of bike, until I got an email back that said this:


Hi, First I would like to let you know I do not find myself in U.K. as I worked there until very recently when the company I work for decided it's time to return to Germany(my birth place).
As I will not be able to sell the bike to you, myself I decided to use a third party Escrow company to act on my behalf. They will be supervising the entire sale process from payment, shipping with a inspection period (5 working days) and (if needed) returns and refunding.
Please let me give you a brief description about the process of this sale and afterwards you can decide if you want to go with it or not.
The company is keeping the bike with all its documentation(V5c included),signed by me, ready for the sale, and you will have to transfer the payment amount for the bike in an escrow account held by the third party company. The shipping, escrow company and return(if you refuse)fees will be paid by me so no extra charge for you.
If you will agree to go ahead and want to buy the bike, I can advise the agent designated for my transaction and he can prepare the transaction (it will provide you a technical inspection and proforma invoice containing their escrow account details). You will have to transfer the payment into their trust account. After payment verification they will deliver the bike to your address. I won't get paid until it arrives and you inspect it, the money will be kept there, while the company will wait your decision.
After you will benefit of 5 working days of inspection and if decide to keep the bike, the company will transfer the money to me and we will have a successful deal. If however you decide not to buy it, the company will pick it up and they will give your money back with no questions asked in less than 24 hrs. Thank you and let me know if you agree with terms and we can discuss further. Anita


Just me, or does anyone else read it and think walk away. Anyway i made up my mind straight away. Told him I'd have it anyway....troll begins

Who will, the Czech hosting company behind the .to website with no contact details or address? Laughing

Obvious scam is obvious, but I have to credit them for apparently not just using a copy-pasta message - or at least not one that's been used enough to be easily found.

Enjoy the games.
