I BUY YOUR BIKE



This idiot replied to the group instead of the individual. This is a scam
and it has happened to me countless times. It is so lame that it is easy to
recgonize. They pay you with a cashiers cheque for double to triple the
asking amount and as soon as you cash the cheque you western union the
excess cash back to the individual. Of course no one ever comes to pick up
you bike and the cheque bounces. It is fun to play along and collect the
cashiers cheques that they send you!

I get about three or four fraud-intent whoesale inquiries a month for
the stuff on my website, and it's easy enough to spot them. My
suppliers get even more of these than I do, by at least two orders of
magnitude. In fact, my primary shirt supplier gets so many that he
often has one while I'm there picking up an order.

International fraud is at an all-time high. Cheap communications have
made it possible; gullibility, stupidity and ignorance make it
profitable, lack of enforcement in the originating nations makes it
quite safe for the perps, and greed drives *both* ends of the scam in
many cases.

(Bogus international cashier's checks have become enough of a problem
here in Houston that most banks will refuse to credit a deposit of one
until they have verified that the check has not only been confirmed by
the issuing bank, but that the issuing institution has physically
received it and the funds have been irrevocably transferred. Domestic
cashier's checks are met with nearly as much caution.)
