I've got my bike listed on the trader. A guy has emailed me through the website: dennis_williams011@yahoo.com tel: 07980 987 654 (number looks fake but isn't - feel free to give him a ring)

with the following

Message:
"With regard....I am interested in puchasing your following item forsale...so i will like to know the the last price, kindly get back to me with the pics and the present condition of the item..my method of payment will be via cashier check or Bankers Draft. Do get back to me with all the follwing details before i can make an offer". I will also be responsible for the shipping of the item from you loction to my destination..

Awaiting your quick response.

Tried ringing him a few times and he answered but hung up very quickly when I tried to talk to him.

If you have any friends of family who're selling through the trader or ebay or other means, pass this info onto them.

Not sure exactly what the scam is or how it works... tossers.
