    There is an address listed in Oldham, may be worth one of the forum members in that neck of the woods to 'av a gander'
    If its too good to be true then it generally is.

    When you see what he is selling and the prices.It looks like he is giving away classic bikes,then you check his feed back, they are all new listings, and he hasnt sold anything over 100 pounds before , Today he has 20 great bikes in mint condition for a fraction of there actual value

    Do you recognise any of the backgrounds they all seem different.
    I wont bother to check it, It cant be real and you would be wiser to stay away than to go near the place. Eh?

    Yes agree it's a scam.

    These type of scams have been appearing on eBay for quite a while now.

    So someones ebay account has been hacked ? In that case there's no point in me going up there. I do know where it is. The address given on the advert is near where a couple of my mates lived about fifty years ago. Their dad got them an old C50 and we used to take turns riding it up and down the lanes. We were about fourteen at the time. We thought it was great at the time. :):)

    I think you'd be wasting your time going round to the address Andy.

    Let's face it if someone is running a scam them it's unlikely that they'd use there home address.

    These scammers often use a photo of a previous advert, not necessarily from a eBay listing.

    You pay a deposit or full amount for a bargain and you end up with nothing.

    These scams are appearing more and more, seen quite a few which have been highlighted on a couple of 2 stroke forums that I view. Scammers selling lc's for ridiculously low prices.
