Why is it when your trying to sell something , all you get are calls from people looking to "Help" you sell your bike?.,,

Even IF they are honest and return the 200 you've basically paid them $29 for nothing and given them an interest-free loan of 200 for 90 days. With enough of those they can make a tidy little profit investing the money. And what's their expense? An internet connection to troll ads and some phone calls. Sweet little deal if you think about it - for them.

Those type outfits been doing that for years.

Pisses me off when I sell a bike and get calls like that.
I'm selling the bike cuz I want money, not because I want to spend money.

Just send me the $229 and in 90 days I'll send you back $29. Bike is still in your hands so 'no loss' and you get to say you met a REAL scammer...

P.S. If you have any friends selling their bikes, tell them I'll give them the same deal.

You will never see the $200 refund. This is just another scam. Times are bad so the weazels are coming out of the woodwork. Tell not to call back and to shove it.
