[gcbike]

found it happening on cincinnati craigslist,someone put an alert on there.seems they post bikes with really low prices and claim to have moved away then want you to pay ebay's payment service.

Hi gcbike, you sent me a message earlier and I responded, just making sure you received it. BTW, I saw the scam post too. I have some bikes listed on CL but not part of any scam

i tried to respond but for some reason there was no submit button

There's something not quite right here. I sent you two PM's earlier and I just checked, they're still in the "outbox".

 

[gcbike]

I just did get both, got the number

Here is a wonderful lesson. If you cannot buy it in person....... don't buy it.

I've been getting a LOT of ebay related scams in my email lately! Three supposedly from Paypal, saying there's been unauthorized credit card use, and blah blah.. One today from some guy saying "I sent you $500 for my _ (I forgot what it said, but nothing I've ever listed!) and if I don't get my $ back I'll report you to the FBI...." Yeah, right. I always forward these to spoof@paypal or spoof@ebay, and let them go after em. Just remember, if it's a real message, there'll be a copy in your ebay messages folder! Be careful out there! ~Adam
