This ad came up on my FB Marketplace suggestions. 

Looks pretty suspect. If it's yours there may be a chance to get it back.

Definitely dodge

Absolutely fishy .....................................

Phillipi again. Likely a hi jacking set up.

Yup. There's a good chance that the bike is a lie. Pictures cut 'n pasted from somewhere else on the internet.

Update: The bike appears to be in Australia

FB marketplace is dodge as hell. Sure there are some good deals but so many scam/fake items for sale.

Why every 2nd thread on here about sus ads on FB

Okay thread merged

The picture is a Ruse, as it's not in the 'sellers' possession.

 

That is a TVS cycles add.

 

Report the 'seller' and then the add.

OMG, this is my bike I sold to TVS! I'll let him know immediately, but I can say with 99% certain this ad is fake. Just report this tool on the FB Marketplace.
