Wilf may be able to tell you more I am sure, as he wrote, and I quote "received a warning that there is a problem with South African and middle eastern buyers e mailing enquiries about your bike and trying to trick you into shipping it to them and paying with dodgy cheques".

HTH

I have also posted this on the bikers web forum, thought as it came from a reply to my add on thier classifieds others should be warned.

If its got feathers and it quacks its probably a duck.

Not really relevant i spose but if youre asking then you already know the answer1 Tell them to f**k off!

are you sure they aren't from the same person? Just I noticed that they both mis-spelt shipment the same way............. just call me Miss Marple hehe

They're mass email attack sh!te form piss poor african fraudsters. they cant even be arrisd to find some penniless british tourist to word their emails for them - google translator does a better job!

As if someone would want the hastle of shipping a 650 quid beemer to africa ( no offence ace) its more internet toss.

I used google translator once, I can now say "Ich haben eine frosche in meine gummisteifel" surprised the hell out of our german office to learn that I had a frog in my wellington boot!

WTF would I want with a BMW?

I haven't grown into the Bandit yet

It all seems a little dodgy to me to be honest... an old adage for ya... if it seems too good to be true...





























Then Tony Blair's speaking to you

this is a real hot cookie on the bikersweb forum, looks like this is a wide spread problem.

Might be an idea to pin a warning on our for sale section to future advertisers, wot d'ya BD?

i got this link in a reply to my posting on thier forum.

Ravin, I got the same message as your first one in reply to my ad for the GT - exact same wording but different name.

Working on the duck theory, I just deleted it!

So whats wrong with my beemer then Zomie.... its worth £650 of any ones dosh.....

I'll even do a recipt on headed paper.
