I recently received the email below. I don't know the individual, so I can't say if this is legitimate or not. I'm a little concerned that the guy seems certain to find whatever is desired, which is a common come-on that scammers use. So, tread carefully.

On the other hand, it could just be a language issue, and he is, after all, using a real name, which is very un-scammer-like behavior. There might be some possibilities here.

Hi, My name is thomas caillard and somehow my family had been involved in cyclism for years, my grand dads, uncles and cousins were all pros so I have a HUGE stock of old school race bikes from France and Italy. Let me know what kind of bike you need and how much you're ready to pay
and I'll
find you the bike.
Thomas.
