And your posting it here why??

Basically as a warning to people and because of the previously posted threads like this in the same category.
Technically at the moment this doesn't fall into 'Lost/Found/Stolen' category but the scum that posted the ad is attempting to commit the crime of fraud by taking/stealing peoples money.
I'm sure that if anyone was to actually send this person money to buy the bike, they'll end up complaining and say that their money was 'STOLEN' as they'll never see it again and they definitely won't receive the bike either.
Lets just call this a preventative post and hope that nobody gets scammed by this person.
And by all means please feel free to complain to the administrator and have this thread moved to a category that you feel is more appropriate or just have it deleted if it upsets you that much.

Here's a few previous threads in this category that are similar:

But this is Lost/Found/Stolen. Are you implying that these bikes may be stolen??

EDIT: My mistake

Cobba couldn't have explained why he posted it much clearer than he just did in post #6. :rolleyes:
