New members selling stuff--buyer beware

[castlerobber]

I'm seeing an increase in posts from brand-new members who join only to sell non-Cruzbike bicycle-related gear, or to sell an old Cruzbike model "for a friend," without any actual interest in Cruzbikes. And there's one new member who has copied legitimate Cruzbike-related sales posts as his own without attribution.

Caveat emptor.

These posts usually have tells. The "selling for a friend" later claims to be the second owner. How can that be? When they give a sales pitch, here on the Cruzbike site, that doesn't make sense. We already know about Cruzbikes. Read carefully, the clues are there.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too,definitely feels off. Good reminder to stay sharp and double-check who we’re dealing with. Thanks for the heads-up!
