I am,on my phone and away so can't report this. Please, someone search for 'niner' and find the tallboy with the lefty forks. Can't believe they keep listing this same bike under hacked accounts! Thanks

That (was) the one jazz - thanks pepper for reporting - seen the same bike being sold by the same people under 3 different hacked accounts now...

How do you know the accounts have been hacked?

How do you know the accounts have been hacked?

Because:
- it is the same bike on 3 different accounts that do big business (e.g. Tesco direct) so the seller can hide easily.
- They are not accounts that would normally sell bikes
- They always ask you to send an email to "buy it now" rather than buying through the account
- The prices are too good to be true e.g.

Santa-Cruz-Tallboy-Carbon-29er-Lefty-Sram-XX-formula-R1-Niner-Large-21lbs-Mint

For £1200 - I think not!

Next time I will copy the listing and post as a photo

someone really wants to offload this bike!*

edit: he tried to "protect" the page but here you go (hopefully this lasts after listing taken down?):

That's the one! I would question whether he actually has the bike at all and also where it came from - seems a pretty unique build...

From a quick look it's not just bikes either, there's all kinds of stuff on there for "1200" ...

Reported about 4 of the bike listings but I'm sure they'll pop up somewhere else in a few days time...

what kind of scammer won't take payment on Sundays? 🙄

different hacked site this time for pic hosting. the guy posting this is obviously an idiot, but there's something fairly sophisticated going on behind it.
