Possible internet scam??

[Raccooncity]

Does it sounds like a scam to you guys??
2004 GSXR600
Done 10k miles
Looks pretty shiny and he said everything is perfect…etc

Asked for 2600 euro including shipping from Spain (including tax & shipping insurance as well!!!)

He kept asking me to give him an answer whether I want the bike and pass him my detail so that he can ship the bike to me. Also he only accept bank account transfer.

What do you guys think?? I do not want to send him the money and what I have got back is a GSXR600 1:20 model

i wouldnt trust him, does he have pictures? ask him some sensible quesions about the bike like what oil does it take, how much did the new chain cost etc.

[Raccooncity]

He sent me loads of pic, but the way he talk and the price of the bike just make the whole thing looks supecious

Do you honestly think someone is selling a 2004 GSXR600 for £1500 delivered to your door ?

SCAM, happening all over, alert EVERYONE to this one, they say they're from spain but they're not, lets say it was true and it was stolen, you need import documents from that country and on the international database it will come up, basically you will be done for theft, you will need to prove X sold you bike, lawys aonly buy from a good source, this one smells badly and Im guessing its a con to get your details

[jimster]

Ask him what his address is, and tell him that you've got a friend who can come and look at the bike. If he's not genuine, he'll refuse. If he agrees, try and find someone!

Or you could ask for a picture of him holding an up to date newspaper next to the bike, that'll prove whether he actually owns it.

Or get the numberplate and run the equivalent of an HPI check, they must have one in Spain.

I'd say this is almost certainly a scam. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. And money transfer is the scammer's scam of choice, since you have no comeback when the bike doesn't appear.
