I've tried to contact the seller for more details via all modern means of 
communication, to no avail. 

I'm not saying that isn't the actual bike for sale, but the photo is from a 
blog in Seattle 
.

I tried the same. They responded via text but very strange and just felt 
like a scam. I stayed away

Maybe I should tell them that the item appears in excellent conditions, and my 
courier will send payment shortly as I am out of the country. Please send bank 
number tank you.

Wow, good catch on the reverse image search. This is some super shady 
business. I wonder what the advantage would be with a scam like this.

I contacted the seller a day after bike was posted. Received a txt back that 
the bike had been sold. I figured at that price made sense. Asked what size it 
was just out of curiousity and got a response 62 fwiw.

So they copied the pic and used it to create a bogus listing. Someone is 
messing with folks. Like a troll.

Wow.  I keep trying to figure out why someone would do this, and the only 
thing I can come up with is that it's a "test run," to get a feel for the 
market and see how easy it would be to fence such a bike.  If any of you in 
the Southern CA area have a similar bike and can't be certain that someone 
hasn't been scoping it out, you might want to keep a tight reign on it for 
a while.   Keep it in your bedroom or something.

Probably not right to post it in this thread, but someone might want to 
save the contact info, in case a theft does occur after this posting has 
disappeared, so there's a starting point of a lead.

Hope I'm wrong.  This maxes out my capacity for paranoia and conspiracy 
theory for the next full year.
