My friend and I have been looking to buy a couple of bikes and we are running into a lot of escrow scammers on craigs list. Anyone have any ideas on how to bait them. They are sending emails from UK ip addresses.

Thanks,

Have received an email this morning offering to buy a motorcycle we are selling. It all sounded a bit iffy, especially as they are offering more than the advertised price (of 2600) and no questions just asking for more pictures. So started looking around and found this site. Here is a copy of the message we got this morning. We are in Ireland and the phone number is from Worcester in the UK, mobile. Obviously not a native English speaker either, email name is Pollock Schnabel. Confusing as it is the other way round, we are selling.

The best thing to do is report it and then delete it. Do not reply to the scammers.
