If you were contacted after bidding on ebay, it is most likely a scam. Below is a copy of an email to me by a scum bag scammer:

"Hello,
I saw that you were bidding on the item #2370233159 and i want to tell you that i have a similar product to sale and I decide to make you a great offer!
I'm a member of the eBay community and have very good positive feedbacks on eBay you can check my history(my username on Ebay it is:Lasports).
Feel free to mail me any questions regarding to my product.
Regards."

Often they will offer a specific price, like $500 for a Yamaha YFB 822. Also, they accept wesern union instead of paypal, etc.

It is getting increasingly important that a legit escrow company be used for large transactions.

Good luck!
