I am trying to sell my bike via an online website. Yesterday i got an email from this sender ( <removed> )that is obviously a SCAM. If you get such a proposal, dont waste your time. I post here his email so you can identify the scam directly
The first email was this one:
Hello Friend,
Good day to you over there...I'm <removed>, I base in North America (Bahamas) but am presently sailing because I'm a Sailor/Marine Engineer, however I will be back in less than two month. I'm searching on (website) where I found your Item which am interested to purchase for my use when am back to home. I will be happy to buy it but i will not be able to come and view it in your place. Note that i will be responsible for shipping and handling. A shipping company will come to your location for the pick up, and final cost of your item? Kindly provide me with the address where it will be picked up so that i can forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pick up for me.
Best Regards.
