It's probably already been said but this site where they bait scammers and get them to do humilating things is awesome:

Personal favourites are the scammer with his left moob painted red and the intricate Wallace and Gromit wood carvings.

I've had my bike on Autotrader since Saturday 1st Sept and have received several email 'enquiries' asking if the bike is still for sale. Mr Isaac Omari being one (if not all) of them. He's on Facebook I believe, if anyone has a question for him. Basically the best thing to do is reply to similar emails with a 'please telephone me' request - using Autotrader's Telesafe number. And I'd suggest be very wary of anyone just asking if the bike is still for sale. Surely if it was a genuine enquirer such a question would be followed by 'and does it have Termignoni carbons or the standard 40 mm pipes' or somesuch.
