Scam artist places local ads in online classified with no phone number that offer items for sales for 10-15% of their value.  They claim to have just moved out of country (no longer local) and will arrange to ship back to local area/country.  They will ask for money to be wired before they are willing to setup 'escrow'.

Hello,
 
Thank you for your email. I am glad that you want to buy my 2012 S-Works Venge McClaren Bike 54cm. My asking price is $2,200.00. From the beginning I want to tell you that I left Canada a couple of days ago and came to United Kingdom with my job (I am a member of the "Save The Children Foundation). If you still want to buy it, we can do it in a very safe way using an escrow company. They will handle the delivery (because I had to take it with me here) and will give you 10 days of Inspection so you can test and see that it is exactly as described by me in my ad. I will pay all shipping/escrow fees.
 
Thanks,
Adam
