Nick Posted April 17, 2023 Share Sorry to hear about this. I see that you were approached by the wanted advert scammer earlier this morning. We flagged the account very shortly after it was created. Wanted adverts are an easy target for scammers. We always advise that wanted ad posters: Be extra vigilant. It's easy to fake knowledge when the seller knows what you want and can research it and find photos online. Avoid including your phone number as a contact option. The scammer wants to get you off Bike Hub and into unmoderated communications as quickly as possible. Use Bike Hub Pay. Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â anecdotally and slightly off topic, but in support of this statement, ive made a couple of purchases on the hub lately where the condition of the item was not quite as advertised, or missing accessories i needed to buy. in both cases, buying new from LBS would have been cheaper and probably quicker to get done. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
