Possible scam from someone who wants to purchase my bike for sale on Cycletrader by trasferring money to me via PayPal; then have some shipping agent come and pick up the bike...
Initial text message to my phone read:
"My name is Alex.interested in buying the bike listed forsale on cycletrader.send me picture of the bike to my email ID
[email protected]!"
At first I sent pictures without asking myself why? The pictures should already be available on Cycletrader of course... Then I got an e-mail asking for my asking price..... This should also be available in the ad...
And then of course the last e-mail where Alex Cueto tries to get me to accept a PayPal moneytransfer to purchase the bike...he even offers to pay $500 for shipping, which I should pay to the "shipper" who comes and picks the bike up... WOW!! I may be stupid at some times, but not stupid enough to fall for this very obvious scam attempt! Beware!!
