Take a look at this,
I advertised a bike I have for sale in the Loot and i got this email from a guy calling himself Mr John, Mr Smith John.
Hello,
Thanks for the information. I am sure the bike is in good condition.Well i just contact my Shipping Company that i have been using for long now, so i am sure they will Ship the Item right to the destination i want it shipped. Also they have got alot in Europe to ship for me I will want you to take an extra £50 for you to keep other buyers off till it is picked up by the shipper ,OK?. This is all the requirements needed at this time. The shipper will handle every other thing necessary when they arrives at your location.. The price is okay by me. I will like to pay the full amount of £185 for the bike, So please reply back to me, and also keep other buyers off. My banker will send you a certified bank cheque of £2,800. Can I trust you to have it cashed at any nearest cheque cashing store since you don't have a bank account, take £235 and send the balance to the shipper,so the bike and the other stuffs that I bought for my wife can be picked up? and i will llike you to understand that you will be getting the remaining funds transfered to the shipper's through western union money transfer , If yes, kindly reply with the following payment details so I can inform him to make out payment to you.
NAME AS TO APPEAR ON CHEQUE...................
HOME ADDRESS.....................
CITY...........................
STATE........................
ZIP CODE.............................

I really want this guy to be legit but he obviously isn't. Oh well.
Anyone else had offers like this recently?
