Where: , Durbanville, Cape Town, Western Cape

Hi. My Green Cannondale Scelpel is a large frame. There is a specialize handlebar fitted with a Shram 11speed XX1 groupset no front derailer. Wheels are czerro carbon wheels. There is a spot on the frame opposite the water bottle cage on the frame where the frame has a scaff of about a centimeter long and 6mm wide where the water bottel was rubbing the paint away. I've taped it close with black tape. I was scammed. Yes they fooled me and I fell for it. (I want to cry 😢). Im based in Cape Town. I advertised it on Bike Hub and Facebook .

Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section.

Oh no man; this is awful.

Can you explain the play here to help the community look out for these types of scams?

Sorry to hear about this @Johannes Joubert

Please could you share details about how they contacted you (e.g. phone, whatsapp, email) and what number(s) etc. were used. 

This may help others to avoid falling victim to similar scams in future and could help us at Bike Hub to detect & block this person if their enquiry originated from Bike Hub.
