I am not sure if this is the place for this, but here we go.
My partner is trying to sell a bike for a good while now, he is not really push, but if he manages to sell his, he will be able to get a bigger one (boys and bikes...). The thing is that he had tried a couple of bike shops, ebay, but no luck.. Today he calls me to tell me that someone from USA has sent him an email saying he's interested, agreed with the price, say he will send a deposit, and then someone will call over to pay for the rest....I haven't much info, but it looks like a scam to me. Has anyone heard about something like that before?
Thanks.

I will PM you to see if it is the same person who emailed my husband was the person who mailed your husband. My husband got a text and then the person emailed him and he emailed back pictures of the bike.My husband was given the exact same spiel as your husband. I told my husband that I suspected it was a scam of some kind and that I was going to post on here to see if anyone could shed any light!!!!

Worth keeping in mind...
