5. "Do not send screenshot of Paypal or venmo transaction to a seller's email. This is a scam, report immediately!"

^^ I'm curious to learn how this scam works? As in what can the scammer do with a screenshot of the transaction? Just trying to learn. Thanks.

Search Reddit forums. There's two or more parties involved on the scammer side and they use your screenshot between them.

Most definitely a scam because:

1. Account is very new
2. Price is too good to be true
3. He said he's out of town but still can ship
4. Referred to the bike as the "product"
5. Name is ridiculious

Stay safe out there!

What do you see when you search for someone who has blocked you?

PS. Seems like there's a HUGE wave of new accounts selling items at low prices... I don't know if this is normal or an extraordinary spike. As a pattern it's easy to spot once you know what to look for but I feel for the un-informed, trusting members of PinkBike. I was one of them, happily sending over an e-transfer until i smelled something recently and it made me learn more. It's a scammer pandemic!

Paypal was blocking that email and would not let me complete the transaction.

I requested a reason and have not heard back from them. Do you know anything?

Please check kelleradams. Ww talked about him selling me a frame and fork from Canada. As soon as i sent the message, i cannot access his profile anymore.

I had a run in with this person recently. Was looking at getting a fork from him. Lots of red flags in the way he interacted with me. Then the conversation disappeared from my inbox.

How do we get him blocked? He did scam a good amount of money

Was going to add 2 more users/posts using that same paypal address.

Mods if you need proof reach out, I have the messages in my inbox

Just to correct the previous poster, paypal doesnt block the email. It only blocks G&S sent to them because they disabled it and they request funds be sent as friends and family.

If the person wants to meet, do it somewhere like the police station or Tim Horton's (an excuse for Timbits).
Asking where someone lives rather than asking them what town they live in may come off as creepy if it is taken the wrong way
