For fecks sake! Why do people assume Foreigners are scam merchants?
I am currently dealing with a lovely Nigerian government official who's about to transfer 5.5 Million pounds of his government's written off energy budget into my bank account.

Have any of you read the sales section of ADVrider? Paranoia is rampant and not just to foreigners! You can almost feel the fear in the forum posts.
I have sold bikes into Europe and as long as there is no mention of escrow or transport costs etc i have always been fine. Generally the common cons are in selling not buying.
Those Nigerians do like to share though, I am at the last stage payment to get my share of slush funds from The Nigerian Lottery!!
