It's the exact same post that was listed here in the Rochester NY CL, maybe a couple weeks ago. It disappeared within 24 hours. Interesting! Wonder how the scam works??

The seller will be out of country. Want you to pay some weird way. Money disappears. |

I'm pretty sure that trike is/was owned by a man named Chuck here in AZ. I saw it at BigBF's house one day.

Scam.
One trick I learned here was to do a google search of the picture. If it shows up, especially multiple times, most likely a scam.
I did that with this one and BigBF's ad and site showed up.

Howdya do that? I use the same trick, that's how I found the Cycletrader listing. Open 2 browser windows, one with the suspect listing, and another you go to https://images.google.com/(This works with Chrome, not sure about other browsers) you literally just drag the picture from the suspect listing into the search bar on the Google Images page and it does a Google search on the image itself... |

Well, I got you all beat.
I am sending him a $5000 deposit on the bike. I am having him withdraw it from the $50,000 I deposited for safe keeping in that nice Nigerian man's account a couple months ago!

Howdya do that? I'm using windows 10. I just right click on the picture and it asks if I want to do a google search of the internet for that picture. I don't know if it's a windows or google thing, don't care neither, but it works. |

Looks like it's a Chrome thing, so it'll be there or not depending on your browser, not your OS. (And cool! I learned a new trick today too!  ) |
