Two different guys are offering to sell me the same bike.

ASSHOLES!!!

So I've decided to lead them on...

give'em hell, T2

So I've decided to lead them on...
post up the aftermath for us to laugh about :firedevil

kill them!

Hi,

I want you to know that the transaction will be made only through eBay so we can be both protected.
If you want to go ahead I'll contact eBay and you'll receive from them an invoice with our transaction and also instructions regarding the payment method.
Everything is made through eBay so we can both be safe.

Let me know if you want to continue the transaction.

Best Regards

eBay will contact you and you'll receive from them an invoice and also instructions about the payment method and where to send the payment.
I must tell you that now I'm in UK with business but this is not a
problem because once the payment is confirmed through an eBay payment method my wife will ship you the bike or you can pick it up in person. Everything will be made through
eBay.The eBay will be totally responsible if anything should happen to
our transaction and there for you or me will not have any loss!
If all is OK with you I'll contact eBay right away.

With Regards

Jeffrey

He keeps reiterating that it will be handled through ebay so we're both protected... If I didn't already know it was a scam, that would have alerted me anyway.

I just submitted it to the FBI, too. :D

does the FBI give a shit?

Yep. Internet fraud is a big deal to them, surprisingly enough.

it may it may not

You gotta figure 34 people bid on that bike... This guy gets 5 people to send in money at $2500 or so a pop... That's over $10k. Do that on a couple auctions, that's big money.

And I contacted Ebay as well.

Ok, I'll contact eBay right away. You'll receive from eBay and invoice with our transaction and also instructions about the payment method. Once the payment is confirmed you can pick up the bike any time you want.

Best Regards

Jeffrey
