Just saw all these on Gumtree, and a lot more. SOmething very dodgy going on. Surely though they couldnt have a stock of stolen bikes that big in their possession??

Nope. Seen this happen before. At least one of them is a duplicate of a real eBay auction.

'I have a travel agency and at the moment i'm in Donegal opening a new office .I have the bike here with me.
I would like to close this transaction through Ukash the delivery will be through USPS or DHL and I will pay it.
The transaction will be like COD, let me know if you're interested to use this service'.
WTF is Ukash

Just got this reply:

Like I explained you I want to make the deal by Ukash bacause I don`t have more time free.
I want to finish my work and open a new office of my travel agency .
In order us to use Ukash i need your full name and delivery address and after that they will contact you with an invoice.
You will have to buy a Ukash from a local store near you in order to send it to Ukash at contact@ukash-intl.com after that i must ship the bike next day and send you the tracking number.
All you have to do is to go to nearest store,normally where you top-up your mobile or pay your bills.
Ukash may be available in a smaller amount than your invoice, so in order to pay the invoice in full , you must send the 19-digit Ukash PIN with the amount of each voucher to contact@ukash-intl.com and they will reply me that you have the money and i cah ship the bike(i will receive the money only after you reply them that you are agree to keep the bike, if not you can go back to the shop and they will give you the money back)
After I will receive the confirmation from Ukash that you have the money I must ship the bike next day and send you the tracking number.
Please send me your informations in order to contact the Ukash.
