More Facebook Fraud--- Heads up to 'buyers'

[bobcycles]

I don't 'do' facebook, try to avoid the plague of most social media... I've been getting
various texts etc from people in the collector community regarding a Facebook poster
going by Bob Cycles... (similar to my ebay, cabe, email spelling etc only with a space between
bob & cycles) and they are out of San Diego Calif.
They're harvesting pix from a variety of sources and even collectors I know and
posting bikes for sale at low prices. They are a member of one of the 'groups'
so apparently you need to be a member of some Face book group to access the
postings and so they don't show up in a simple Marketplace search.
...which is another thing I'll never understand about facebook...why groups?
why limit your exposure to a small handful of people when trying to buy and sell
on Facebook... Facebook just blows.
Anyway.... Seller is out of San Diego ... the post is a scam, and people, so I've been told
have already gotten burned by the idiot.

I have seen his posts and the pictures in the groups. I thought it was you and I can see how someone could get scammed. Thank you for exposing this. I will bring it to the attention of the group moderator.

Thanks for the heads up.

I shot a note and got one of his listings pulled down earlier in the week and reported his profile as a scam.

Is that his real photo or did he steal that too? Thanks for the heads-up!

Somebody posted he’s a scammer yesterday on Facebook. I thought the name was kind of Strange, so he’s probably been around to get a little bit of background on something he knows nothing about.

He's had 2 different profile pix. Guess the dude is a "shape shifter"

Too bad the guillotine fell out of favor...

I was so excited when I first saw his posts, FINALLY, some good deals here on the left coast. Damn.
