You can write UK cheques for someone for £10,000,000 and when they go to the bank the cashier adds 10,000,000 in the credit on the computer but its not available for 3-4 days so it instantly shows in your account if you go and check it at a cash machine as 10,000,000 credit. But it bounces after a few days and they have nothing.

Within the few days the scammer picks the bike up and thats that, if its a direct bank transfer then it isnt the same but somehow they send an international cheque.
