I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
I know there are many members here that belong to Facebook bike groups including myself. I'm totally aware of the scammers on Facebook but never actually purchased anything from a Facebook listing, even from the seller that was the creator of that particular group that made his living from buying Schwinns and selling them in his Facebook group. After he quit posting in his group when he got a new real job that group continued on without him, and he eventually ended up here on the Cabe selling some of his inventory. One member here was ripped off by this person but the deal did not originate on the Cabe. That person joined here and then mentioned this FB seller.
I've been searching for a purebred puppy for a while and decided to join a couple of the 100+ groups for that breed and the number of scammers will blow your mind. I've been banned from two groups so far when I called them out as being scammers. Then the other day a somewhat stagnant group that I was a member on was shut down and the group heading said.

I messaged the person that had taken control of that group and asked what was going on. I personally thought this group was legit. I asked her some questions and here are her responses.
The Marry Taylor is a scammer as well, the group has about 100+ scammers on it. Most are also the Marry person under different names, I have it in archived until I could get a handle on it.
They steal photos and
make fake fb accounts, there are literally hundreds of thousands on Facebook. Look locally for pets, you can actually put in your maps what you're looking for and any in your area will come up.
If they say PM me or sending you a PM, never answers questions on the post, only in private messages, it's a scam. If they say they need a deposit to reserve it's a scam, if they won't give an address you can look up its a scam, if their fb profile is only a few months old it's a scam, if they rush you it's a scam, you can reverse look up pictures they send you or their profile picture and it will show you if the pictures are on the internet somewhere else... it's a scam.
Not a problem, I am all for sending out beware messages to people... the mini dog group had over 4k people on it, and I've deleted over 1,200 that were scammers, looks like there is at least another 1,000 I don't want to reopen it until I ban them all, I may have the group hijacked from me before getting it done. FB is truly 80% scammers, it's so bad now nothing like it was when it first started, my mother in law was scammed out of 13,000 in 2013 ever since then, I warn people on every scam I come across... they use anything a person would be interested in... sewing, baking, cooking, animals, crocheting, exercising, dieting, cars, photography, you name it they'll create a group then start scamming everyone who comments... you think 40k members in each group, the more they post the more chances of scamming someone, they can make $10,000 a day in one group and the people being scammed are so embarrassed and humiliated they don't warn people or report it, they hide in shame. I will warn people until I die. If you see post they say "nobody likes my" "please be nice" "my mother, brother, husband made this" its all scams.... there's a grief group I am on daily warning people, the group is actually a scam group and these scammers are preying on grieving people... they don't care. Please beware of everything on social media if it's not someone you personally know. Scammers have taken over FB and FB doesn't stop them.
I've been involved with encounters from scammers, and then I played them for about an hour each. Their responses to my questions were all lies and I did a search when they finally answered me about their locations. One said she was AZ and lived in Johnson AZ. I told her I never heard of Johnson AZ, and then I found out it's a ghost town with 0 population. She didn't acknowledge what I said and she continued on about a payment. Facebook should be shut down or at the very least monitor and clean up their site when someone repeatedly reports fraud or Scams. I've reported many of these groups and not a damn thing is ever done about it.
