Angry Scammer tried to get me!

email 1 from me:
is this bike still for sale? what is the asking price?
Responce from him

I'm the first owner , and my bike is in very good condition only 2933 miles on it , never
raced or laid down.

This bike has been taken care of exceptionally well. It has always been garaged since it was purchased. I tried to not even ride it in the rain.

The price is negotiable i was thinking to get around $3000 for this bike (bike is easily worth double that, clue one) shipped , but i'm willing to hear your counter offer and to sell it for less.

This bike is located in Tacoma , Wa if you would like to buy it i can pay for the shipping, anyway let me know. You will be able to test and ride this bike before your money get's to me because for payment and shipping we will use a shipping company that has a third paty department also my wife will ship this bike because for the moment i'm in Liverpool , UK working as DJ .

For further details don't hesitate to email me , i will respod as fast as i can.

Evan,
To be honest, there is too much bike fraud out there an I am a bit sketched out by you being in another country and not being able to see the bike.
The only possible way I could do this is to send you a check dated for 3 from now that says on it, in bold "DO NOT CASH UNTIL 1-25-06 so that I can cancel the check if a bike doesn't arrive.
Do you have any pictures of the bike?

I have a safer method for both of us .

For payment and shipping we will use a shipping company (www.extrafreight.com) , this is how it works : you send the money to them , they will ship you this bike and you will have 2 up to 30 days of inspection , after the bike passes inspection extrafreight will send me the money and our deal closes successfully , otherwise they will give you the money back and i will pay for the return shipping costs.
Please reply me the email you registered with and i will start our transaction , please let me know if you need the Vehicle Bill Of Sale done on your name and if yes when do you need it.

Thanks

How about we use my escrow service?

i would go to the toy store, get about 3 grand in play cash, and tell them the money is on the way here is the tracking number, go ahead and ship the bike.
