I've got another of my bikes for sale in a well known publication for £2395.
Just received an email from a potential buyer saying he'll pay £3000 for it and do I have an account with Black Horse.
The English is quite apalling and he reckons he's away on business currently although he states he has a uk mobile.
He's trying to scam me isn't he?
I've heard of this before.....how does the scam work? It's something to do with the overpayment I think

The Duke, Loz.
Don't want to sell but it's a toss up between that one and my Bandit.
The one that gets the most is going and there does seem to be more value in the Duke.
Got a guy coming Sunday now..

I got one from Nigeria the other day offering me the full asking price for my 250 all I had to do was give them my bank details and they would arrange a courier ,I nearly bit their hand off.....NOT ,it went straight into the bin  |

Not necessarily a con, I've bought bikes on finance and black horse was the company used.

That's the thing.....it could be genuine.
Either way I have actually got someone to view the bike on Sunday and he's from Bedford......

I kind of agree mate.
End of the day.....someone comes up and views her, leaves a deposit and job done.....this is how it was done back in the day and this really is how it should be done now.....none of this crap.
Thanks for all the input.
