Online fraud..

I’m selling my motorbike and I just received the following email:

Hello,
I am much Interested in your bike and wish to be the next owner. I will be making my payment via Bankers draft and i will arrange pick up after the Bankers draftis cleared.

The bike is being purchase for my Dad.

I will be including the shipment and General Maintenance fee on the Bankers draft, so immediately you get the Bankers draft you will deduct your money and the rest would be for transport agency so that all papers works(DVLA) and other documentation for the shipment will be done to make the transaction complete.My private transporter will take of all necessary documentation and Registration that need to be done will be taken care by Him.

I want you to get back to me with all the necessary information listed below in order to make out the Bankers draft

Name : –
Address : –
City: -
Post Code : -
State….
Mobile Number : -
Office Phone : – # if available

I will make sure the Bankers draft get to you within 7 working days. Awaiting for your swift response and your payment Information

Best Regards,
Joey Evans

So, you want to buy without viewing the bike, pay by bankers draft and you want my personal information. Combined with the dodgy pick up information and Joey’s shoddy grasp of the english language makes me think this might not be genuine…

Now, don’t take this the wrong way Joey, but get ******.

Oooh – now that feels much better.
