Nick Posted June 22, 2016 Share Thanks for the heads up. The images are from an old ebay advert here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-NEW-Cannondale-Scalpel-29-Carbon-2-F-Si-Lefty-M-X01-6000-Retail-Price-/182036781690?nma=true&si=aBAbrcZn7r4ophFscZo738ewrPw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyone Posted June 22, 2016 Share If it sounds too good to be true, then it is...don't even engage in these ads, as it shows a level of commitment for them to keep doing it. By that I mean if you contact them, then they know that people are looking for a deal and sooner or later someone will be gullible enough to part with money "before the goods get dispatched from the warehouse".

Kevlouw Posted June 22, 2016 Share I see the OLX & Gumtree ads have been removed. They must know someone is onto them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caltrigger Posted June 22, 2016 Share I called to get check it out, they said they were in PE so I told them I'm from PE and want to come look, then they had the stock in Nelspruit, asked them for an address in Nelspruit where I could send a business partner then he said he thought they were sold out! Anyway I hope nobody falls for this. Thanks for the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinus155 Posted June 22, 2016 Share You would think nobody falls for this but they do! I am looking for a Gopro and the same type of ads are rife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
