BIKE SCAM!!! : eBay Guides

There seems to be a popular scam around at the moment involving bike sales. The motorbikes are advertised at a very low price but ask you to register to bid,you apply but noone replies until after the sale has ended. You are contacted with some bull story about why they could not reply but offering the bike at avery low price including shipping!! Next theyask for you to send the money to a third party via western union for safety and tell you to send your address so they can get the ball rolling. The 2 scams I have played along with used a shipping agent in Glasgow and one in Holland, they do not exist and the Glasgow address was actually the Victoria Hotel!!They never answer any questions asked just keep pushing for you to send the money,do not . Then the emails change and become very irrate and the spelling and grammer lead me to believe they are of African origin.I offered to go to the seller and pay cash but they always tell you the bike has been dropped off at the shipping agents.

So beware if its too good to be true it is and this scam is all over ebay motorbike sales at the moment.
