Recently was made aware someone stole my eBay ad from Mar 18 and posted it here as a scam ad.

Username link -> https://www.pinkbike.com/u/LurkMore/

Link to their advertisement ->
https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3594562/

My eBay ad ->
https://www.ebay.com/itm/125831354973

Reason for reporting them ->
Lurkmore clearly stole my eBay photos, posted them here as a nefarious ad, and now that I’ve posted the bike myself here on pinkbike, I was informed by another kind user that someone else had created an identical ad.

Need more proof? Lurkmore posted the bike as size Large, but as you can see in the photos, the sticker near the bottom bracket clearly shows it’s a size small. Gotcha.

There's a clear pic of the sticker that says Size S and LurkMore's ad claims the bike is a Size L.

This account is most probably an AI-scammer. Not answering to questions, excuses about having a bad quality camera when asked for a video, eventually sending a reduced quality video of a completely different bike, etc.
Contact me for more info, screenshots, etc.

AI-scammer, Really? This is the first time someone calls me an AI. lol

I would appreciate some evidence, If not I'm innocent until proven guilty, thank you very much.

m.pinkbike.com/u/racingbikes/buysell

Sent money on 4/1 to the email address that was provided. He stated he would ship by the end of the day on 4/3. On Monday 4/3 I reached out to confirm he was able to ship the bike. No response until late on 4/3. Seller stated his flight was delayed and couldn’t ship the frame. The next morning I woke up and he said the email address he provided was his business partner who has now abandoned him and left for Europe. He told me to file a claim with PayPal. I then get on pinkbike and see that he has relisted the frame for $1900 because “this bad bike deal has put him in a bad spot“

you've already been judged! You now have to prove you're innocent, not us. I swear to God these scammer douches get stupider and stupider. Hilarious the original ad gets posted right after he asks to prove him wrong.

ahh, perfectly normal behavior. last evidence of activity in 2009, then you come back 3 days ago and suddenly have 3 bikes for sale and also remember your account login. This is extremely common on pinkbike, where scammers like you take old inactive accounts and then pretend to be the original account owner, hoping to have some credibility

Any reason why his posting is still listed on this site?
