Re: At it again (scaming)
Here are two fraudulent listings for a G50:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MATCHLESS-G5 ... 2852616150
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MATCHLESS-G5 ... 2852628876
Both reported...
[edit: looks like eBay took them down already. Along with nearly 5,000 other "listings" at the same price under that account... ]

Re: At it again (scaming)
The scam ads are quite easy to spot Chris, just look for a bike that is ridiculously cheap (G50 for £5k, 7R for 35p etc etc). Just remember the old adage, if something looks too good to be true................spookefoote1956 wrote:Ahh, forget it. I'm going back to Dr Who!

Re: At it again (scaming)
Not on the only two links that were given. Not bothered trying to find anything mentioned with no links to refer to. Some listings may show a picture of a bike, the state in the small print you are bidding on a tank as seen. or something like that. Same applies if you see a load of parts pictured and you are biding on one of the parts only. You need to read everything before bidding or thinking its a scam. Quite often a picture is just a catch, you end up getting one nut instead of a bag full. Or the likes.Peter Morris wrote:They are still there on my computer Rob, 3 ads for the same G50, same price (£3k).Rob Harknett wrote:10.03pm and they are not there now.
