I tried to attach the photo with the upload thing below, if that doesn’t work I’ll host it once I get home.

Whose bike?

Stumbled upon a bike shipping CL scam, basically.

Said they wanted it gone due to a widow at a stupid price, and of course it turns into a shipping scam. I’m playing them for a bit in email. I just told them I’d drive the 200 miles to get it. Lol. See what they say now.

Of course, "she" replied with "I'm stationed in NOVA now on duty so can ship it."

So then, I reply with "I'm a crazy cycling guy, I drive a lot further than that for bike races. I'll come up to get it. Would you be ok meeting somewhere safe like a bank or police station for the sale?"

Then.........crickets..........LOL.

I'm pretty sure there is no bike and they stole the pictures from ebay. It was a $9k bike on CL for $1k.

Apparently the CL, "ship your car" scam has moved over to bikes now too.
