Scam?

Last night, I found an '03 R6 with 850 miles for sale for $4200 on cycletrader.com. Bike is in Columbus.

 

I e-mailed the guy, and here is the string, most recent is at the top:

 

Me -

I live in Columbus. When can I look at it this weekend?

 

Him - If we use an escrow service i will arrange a free transport to your location and i will allow you 2 days to test it before the escrow company release me the money.

It is located in Columbus, OH. I prefer escrow because i have to study a lot this period.

The cycletrader ad is now gone.

Definitely scam. Seen alot of it. The other big one with bikes is people auctioning off on eBay saying they're in the states. You email them, and they have "just moved" to somewhere in Europe. Ran into several of them, listed by different people with positive feedback. Each one emailed me back with the same story. I'd stay away from it dude.
