    TradeMe scum

    watch out for this chappy:
    thomasgrov@earthlink.net

    got in touch with him about a CBR he had, these were his last couple of emails:

    "I can hold the bike for you , but i need to know how much can you give right now ! If i will recieve $800.00 for it i will send it to you and give me the rest of money when you sell your house.
    Let me know.
    Thank you !
    "

    and

    "Yes i've removed the add.
    Where i really don't know what to say about the bike , the engine sound awsome , the engine working like new never damages never repaired , you will also have 15 business days to return it back if you wont be satisfy.
    I'm curently located in Uk and the bike will be shipped from here . I'm here to spend my holydays . I will pay for all the shipping taxes , and the bike will be insured also.

    Thank you and hope we will finish the deal.
    "

    they could at least try and be a little more original.
    smells a little of 'nigerian coffee' to me...

    To be a scammer, does english have to be your second language?

    Did you forward the emails to Trademe ? I am sure they would be interested.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Say what? You are selling your house to buy this bike?? Hope it is a doll house...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.
