New seller beware (scammer)

I believe this guy to be a scammer. Answered a wanted ad of mine with a 41 Schwinn. Only accepts bank transfers and won’t allow for a local pickup. If I’m wrong I’m truly sorry. Here’s the bike. 1300$ shipped next day delivery.

I would ask why no local pickup? If seller isn't willing to provide any information then you're transferring money for a picture.

Claims to be a pilot. And doesn’t have time. But has time to ship the bike.

Hold the phone!!!!!
I just googled "1941 Schwinn blue and white bicycle" ...images...and got THIS!
Isn't that the bike? There's a site Dave's Vintage Bicycles where he shows pictures of bikes. I believe that's where "seller" got picture.
Bait him via the authorities!!!!!

Looks to be worth a lot more than $1200.00 unless I am missing something.
Why would someone sell such a nice bike for that cheap?

Definitely a scammer. Way too good of a deal to be true, and the story makes zero sense.
