In my hunt for a new bike, i came accros this jem on ebay. It must be a scam. I've sent the bloke a message asking for a viewing and the reg so i can
HPI it.
Theres not a hope in hell this things legit (if it is i'll be buying the best value for money bike ever), but are there really people stupid enough to get scammed like this????

My gut feeling is that it's a scam.
1>preapproved bidders only
2>100% of his feed back is for buying goods without a single sale in their
3>use of the word 'title' in the description, sounds more like American English
but I could be wrong

the reflectors give it away, He's just a poor muppet that got spoofed by one of those 'Confirm your username/pass' fake Ebay emails. He's probably been bled dry by the Paypal and Bank ones too.

Ha!! got an email off ebay today stating their anti fraud policy, telling me to contact them if i'd paid money for the bike. They've removed the item after someone reported it
as being fraud.
Well at least thats one less ebay scammer trying to dupe stupid bikers with too much money!!
