I am selling my old ebike, a Boardman Hybrid. Foolishly, I jumped right in and posted a listing on Facebook marketplace. Within ten minutes I received an offer on Messenger advising me that a GLS postman would bring me the cash and collect the bike.
Luckily I asked my friend at La Bottega about selling on Facebook and he told me that the same thing happened to him when he was selling some furniture. As soon as I realised that I had a scammer online I told him I preferred PayPal to cash and he started waffling on about insurance charges.
I will be blocking this eejit as soon as possible. Unfortunately I had already given him my address, so the rottweiler will be taken off the chain for the foreseeable future.
