Scam ads

On Bike Hub: You can do us all a favour and report those ads / users as soon you see them. If we shut them down quicker than they can post and create fake profiles they will soon rather focus their attention somewhere else where they get away with it. The beauty of Bike Hub is the engaged community, if we keep it that way we will tire these okes.

Havent been on for past week or so... But will certainly do so.. I saw an ad with pictures from bike market in Melville but with ridiculously cheap prices and a suspect name. Reported it to olx immediately..

Good work! Olx and Gumtree is usually fast to respond when you report something. I have done it as well with ads where the guy uses the usual "I'm not in the country, but someone will come to pick up" line.

OLX Mozambique weren't helpful at all when I asked for even a picture of our stolen bikes. Someone saw the bikes advertised and we have all his contact information but we can't even get them to pull up some proof that he was in fact selling our bikes. The advert goes down very quickly when the real bargains happen with stolen goods.
