I was advertising a motorcycle for sale and "Mark" emailed me asking to see some pics of the bike. I sent him some and he wanted to buy it right away. I even emailed him to ask why someone would buy a bike for $5000 without seeing it. He was even having it shipped to his address which he claimed was Newfoundland.
I was still suspicious although I told him he could buy it and send me a certified bank draft... something he requested. I was still unsure, even after I sent him our mailing address so I checked his IP address. Guess what? Lagos, Nigeria is what came up. I then googled is email address and only 2 hits came up, both to this site. This person was using <[email protected]> according to your list. well, add the above address to it as well. Here are our emails sent and received. I'm sure it's a fraud attempt. Can you confirm please?

Hi,
I believe i can trust you anyway.Am located at newfoundland.Am going to arrange the pick up with a company as soon as possible.
Let me know?
