Apparently not....
My mate is selling his RMZ450 on trade me, he got a call and the guy said yup happy to pay asking price and give you some gas money to come to Hamilton to meet me.
It was agreed so he loaded up the bike and the guy told him he would send him the internet confirmation of payment. On the way to Hamilton from Auckland he recieved the confrimation. (Lucky he had internet access)
He then noticed that it was from anz.co.nz@live.com he did some research called ANZ etc and yes it was a fraud.
By this stage he was 10 mins out of Hamilton and about to meet the potential thieves. He called the police and advised them, suggested they come with him and meet him there but the said THEY WERE TOO BUSY!!!!
He decided not to meet the potential scam artists as he was by himself in a foreign town just incase it was gonna be an ambush. So away they get scott free!
BTW Before any of you suggest this guy is soft and should have busted up the would be scam artists, I would say that this is one of the hardest boys you would meet but you have to pick your battles
