    It looks dodgy to me. No doubt as well as giving you the V5 they'll give you a letter from their uncle in Nigeria who happens to be worth a $1,000,000,000 and is desperately trying to give it to you for free through some legal loophole, all you need to do is give him your bank details for him to make the transfer...

    But is only takes one half wit to make all their work worth while...... and those sorry people are out there. I doubt many are in the motorcycle community as to go to all the trouble of passing your test and actually riding a bike you have to have '' something '' about you, not the usual victim ' MO ' for a scammer.
