The Hayabusa scam is only the tip of the ice burg , I was listing my 78' KZ 1000 with a ridicules price to see how the market was for that bike at that time ,to say the least  if any one came close I would sell ,But a interested buyer had no problem with the price and was wanting the bike shipped to his country in Nigeria his fiend was going to be in the country U.S. and would drop a bank ck to me, but the ck was substantially larger  and would I have to have a bank ck to return the difference  and he would generously include the shipping and a little extra for my troubles. At first I thought  there was going to be a real person doing the trans action and that it might be real but I'm not a man of means and I would not be able to cover the ck he was requesting , so he explained that if I were to go to the bank they would write the bank ck pending the transaction of the larger ck ,by depositing it in my account. then they would write the return ck against the deposited ck and so I thought it might be doable, [what do I know about banks ?] then the bells and whistle  went off when I called the bank and made a request  for the transaction. They would only write the ck if the first ck was deposited and  proved the  "Monies were Available". they said it must be done this way to protect you from a scam because they would come after me for the monies and if I were without means they would be out of the money.  Then  I get a call a few days later from the guy that  came to the country [maybe he was, maybe he wasn't] he said he was so busy he couldn't meet up with me because of his schedule and was doing this for a friend and that he would send a courier and to have "My" ck ready to return with the courier , I tried to explain that the bank said !!!!! and he hung up! before I could finish the sentences. I tried to connect with the buyer[to give him a pice of my mind and it's a dead end . I called the police and talked to the computer fraud division .They said these people are a organization, that operate  on a full time basis  in a boiler room environment [like a tela marketing business] and each caller gets a % of the take if successful in duping and scamming  people and that these people are known for retaliation if you make waves for them or trip them up the local police would only think it was a random crime, not knowing the history of  your encounter  with them. so be aware ,BE VERY AWARE since it was on the internet these crime are almost impossible to go after  since its coming out of another country ,they may not have any laws to stop them from praying on people outside their borders I'm not a stupid man and very cautious with business handling but I nearly got caught up in the greed of a substantial windfall. It was my good business sense and years of knowing nothing comes easy  that protected me from their scam [do your home work ,ck the bank ck the person out varfiy the locatoion ,phone numbers do what ever is nessary to protect and dont give any monies unless it insulated and insured like paypal .a couple of hundred $ you can recover from but thousands may take several years to do so],this is one that was well planed and thought out, but  it nearly got me. It's often said : "If it sounds too good  to be true ,its most likely not true" Protect yourself and a good way on e-bay is the pay-pal system every one is established and proved who they are ,they done the homework for you !
