Context: I found a motorcycle on AutoScout24 , that I’d love to buy. The guy selling it, claims he doesn’t live in Belgium anymore, moved to Denmark due to a divorce and took the bike with him.
He says he still wants to sell it. I can either drive to Denmark (not going to happen lol) or let him ship it out. This is his explanation about him shipping it out (in dutch):

In all likelihood, it’s going to be a scam.
Is the vaseline offered for free?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, it is.
Yes looks too robot-y
Stay away from abroad selling. Buy a motorcycle in person and in your country only and make sure you have all papers (including keuring) as there are a lots of motorcycle scammers.
If you have to ask, it almost always is.
Yea. The scam works as follows:
1. You agree
2. The post company contacts you
3. They ask you to fill a form
4. The form asks you to “confirm your identity” by doing some shady thing with your bank card
5. They steal your money.
Yes
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is …
You would need to be the most gullible ~~fool~~/~~idiot~~/person to not see the glaring alarm bells going off for this one.
