hey guys, I attached an email conversation I had this morning. Basically the story is this: I had a bike for sale on the North West Race report website last year, and apparently it is still listed, even thought it is sold.
Anyway, I gentleman in Amsterdam (EU) emailed me stating his interest, however it was sold. But as you will read below I have a 2003 version of hte same bike. Anyway, let me know if you guys can understand his frame of mind.
Take note: below is the ONLY interaction I've had. Him not asking any questions, and the subsequent 'payment transaction proposal' seems a bit odd. As well, his reply email changed automatically (maybe that's can be done, but I'm no IT expert)
Here it is in order that the conversation went, email #3 is very strange these are exact emails cut and pasted:

Hi, where did you see the listing? It is sold but I have a 2003 IZOARD with only 2000km on it. It was meant for racing this year but I got sick with Mononecleosis, so I was only able to do easy training with it. It is virtually in showroom condition with only 3 little paint chips!
The 2003 has Easton GX2 Scandium with carbon wrapped tubes, FRM lightweight cranks, FRM Web stem, and full Dura Ace. As well FRM SPR-21 wheels which are only 1500 grams for the pair, including skewers! These wheels have been used only 2 weeks as well. THe frame is identical to the one below, but it’s yellow, black and white. $5400CAD plus shipping, which should not be over $100 for a quality insured shipment, but I would have to check.
I can take pictures if you like.
Best
Stephen

Subject: RE: 2002 Wilier Triestina IZOARD...PAYMENT AND SHIPMENT
Thanks a lot for your mail it is highly appreciated.Yes i am
still interested in the 2002 Wilier Triestina IZOARD like i said earlier i am based in Amsterdam the netherlands(holland).As
regards shipping i have made arrangemnts with a shipping company and
they have agreed to come for the pick up as soon as we conclude our own
part of the transaction.So you dont need to bother asper the shipping.
As regards payment,this is what i am going to do,i have a client in the USA who is owing me $9,900 (US) i would instruct him to make out a cheque to you in that amount and as soon as you clears your bank,you
can let me have my balance via western union money transfer.
The reason why i ma doing this is because if i decide to send
payment from over here it might take a long time before it goes
through,but a check sent from over there withing the USA would clear
between 2 and 3 days. Although the value of the check is more than the
price of the 2002 Wilier Triestina IZOARD but i thing i can trust you with my balance considering the fact that i still have to trust you with the item.
Pls if you are interesetd in selling to me,i would ap preciate it if
you could get back to me so that we can proceed. Pls i would need for you
to provide me with your name as you would want it to appear on t! he
check and your address and phone num! ber so that i can have my client contact you asap. Thansk in this regard and i would be expecting to hear from you soonest. But i think i can trust you with my balance considering the fact that i still have to trust you with the item. Pls if you are
interesetd in selling to me,i would appreciate it if you could get back to me so that we can proceed. Pls i would need for you to provide me with your name as you would want it to appear on the check and your address and phone number so that i can have my client contact you asap.
Thanks in this regard and i would be expecting to hear from you
soonest.
