I had a guy in the UAE want to buy a motorcycle I had on eBay, he even
offered to wire the money to my bank account. I checked into opening a new
bank account with no balance in case there was any chance of him reversing a
transfer and draining my account, etc. Then I was told by several people
that even if he wired the money to me, if it turned out he obtained that
money by some illegal means, the officials or whoever could come after me
for return of the money even though I had nothing to do with how he obtained
the money, so I decided it just wasn't worth the anxiety and sold it for a
whole lot less to someone in the US.
