Hmm. It's a classified add, but I bet they want some sort of deposit, which you'll never see again!

Buyer beware:
- So cheap it's too good to be true!
- No contact details.
- Seller has zero eBay rating!!!!!
- And no other items for sale.
- Description is v-poor. Not being sold by a genuine bike enthusiast!
- If seller was shop in background of one picture, why didn't they include shop name in picture and especially the advert.

If this isn't a con, I'm a Dutchman and pigs fly!

Deffo a scam phone number in shop window is from the Kidderminster area possibly" Motorcycle Mart Yamaha" and date of registration in description is 2014 01 that would make it a 63 plate not 64!!!

I think the seller needs a lot of interest with stupid questions time to wind up I think ?

I commented on this on another channel as it looked like a scam to me as well. Like the idea of bombarding the seller

Click to expand...

Typically, cash transfer will be into some untraceable account!

I presume the typical approach is to pretend they have other interested parties, and require a deposit of £100++ etc, to reserve the bike.... else con some more gullible soul into making a full transfer on assurance bike will be there's! Then when they discover they've been given a false address it dawn's in them 'It really was too good to be true!'.

By which time the con artist is laughing his shocks off in a pub some place else!
