Bike Scam
-
accept the cheque, deposit into a new fresh bank account, as soon as it's cleared and you're able to draw against it, draw the entirety in cash - closing the account in the process.
okay my idea, but with this. surely then you'll be 22k up and with a bike no?

Don't UK banks charge a fee for depositing foreign denomination cheques? You could ask him to send a further cheque to cover the fee before you will be able to deposit the main 22k cheque, and on and on ad infinitum.

Repaying attempted fraud with theft:D I think that law enforcement would take a dim view of that.

More of a response to this, G As long as the bike is provided, no crime will have occurred.

It might be kind of funny to see their reaction to this question; "Hello, I have had your 22K pound check in hand for several days but I noticed you have not arranged for pickup of the bike. Why is that?"

Shocking.
