FCH Posted December 5, 2014 Share Except for the obvious issue of most of these ads that 1: the price doesn't stack up to whats being offered, 2: the knob copy and pasted the stats of a bike but on the photo you have completely different gear on it. easy way to spot the fakes, save the image and run googles image search on it, 99.9% will take you to someone who posted their bike somewhere and they just lifted the image. Scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can trace the individual using the bank account number, but not just as Joe Public. The cops have to have subpoena his details and can only do so if there is an open case, with evidence suggesting an offence was committed. The subpoena to trace this person has to be signed off by both a prosecutor and a magistrate, on the face of prima facie evidence. Up to know, the scammer has not committed an offence, so the cops won't be interested (even though it is clearly and advance fee / "419" scam.
