Get him to "pay" you during fictitious details and then send him the local police station's address and get him to ask for Joe Massapuss.

They make the initial communication deliberately dodgy to ensure that only the most gullible/desperate of people will even reply, then they know the future comms with said party has good chances of success.

 

They deliberately choose an international location to have the door open for transfer fees for the cash which should come to the seller but they won't have enough money to pay those fees and then ask you to pay it on their behalf. Meanwhile you are just paying them and at worst also sending them a bike....

 

They won't catch out us lot, they fish for the most gullible among us with these types of posts.

Respond, ask him to make payment and then don't release the bike until the money clears - it never will... Mess him around a bit
