SCAM? You decide

Hello Luke,
Thanks for your reply. I wish to purchase the bike from you at the said amount and will like you to confirm that the condition of the bike is as stated in the ad. I will appreciate you send me one or two pictures of the bike as i am getting it for my partner and will not be able to come for viewing.
I am a US army medic deployed with the 10th Mountain Division currently serving in provinces of Wardak and Logar in Regional Command East Afghanistan and out here, it is difficult accessing a phone regularly except for a dsn location. I will make payment to you via pay pal as i run a Pay pal Premier account for more than 4 years and it's 100% safe for making payments, verified, well monitored and different from the regular pay pal account which is very common and pruned to problems such as scam. It is a secure way to pay online as you do not need share your financial information with anyone especially over the internet compared to other online payment system and card brands. All i require to make payment to you is your pay pal account name and your email id (the email address associated with your pay pal account) or You can visit www.paypal.com to register and create an account if you do not have one already.
I will also arrange pick up and delivery of the bike to my partner in Malaysia and all paper work regarding the the purchase will be handled by the pick up agent on my behalf as they posses the power of attorney to do so. Pick up will be organised only when you have the money in your bank account.
Look forward to read from you and i wish you a happy new year.
Angelina
This same type scam has been running for the last several months in another hobby I have an interest in, leave well enough alone

Dec
I took a draft off one of these guys by post, oh yes sir when you get it please tell me I come to collect the bike. Inanyways I took it to the bank told them I did not want to lodge it but to get it checked out. It took 4 weeks for them to tell me it was a scam. I gave your man the run around for weeks in the end he just stopped contacting me dirty fool!!
Lets see how this goes down:


Dear Angelina ,
Thanks you for your response and am I happy to accept the offer from you sir.
At this time the bike is part of a larger inheritance I expecting from a relative in Nigeria. The total inheritance is over 1 million US dollars money including this nice bike.
In order to release this inheritance I need to pay some capital gains tax at the country of location. This country is Nigeria.
If you and your partner (are you a lesbian?) were able to help me pay this tax and release the inheritance I could share some of the dollar money with you and offer the bike at a reduced nice price.
The easiest way to do this is for you to send me $2,000 cash to my address.
Please let me know if you can help and I will send you my address.
Luke
PS Please send me some pictures of you and your partner for my records.
