But someone can get online access to a bank account, send a wire, by the time the real owner of the account finds out, the guy just picked up the bike on day 1 or 2 after the wire was sent. the charges will be reversed once fraud is discovered and you are fucked out of both. you could catch them, by asking tons of questions when the guy comes for the bike and take his pic and ask for ID, etc.
