    Wish I had bought it for £3,500 lol

    This my bike I bought from a London dealer in the pics in December '14.

    I was told of the ad by a friend also thinking it was a cheap bike, not
    Knowing it was mine !!

    They hacked their EBay account, changed the email account and bank details.

    Then when people inquired they got them to pay up front.

    The London dealers and one in Manchester both hacked, totaled to £70,000 over the weekend so I was told !!!

    I think they do it at the weekend, your too keen and don't want to lose out on a great deal so either pay a deposit or full asking price to secure !!!

    Speaking to the dealer where I bought my bike, they are doing it to other traders off eBay, even a flagship Honda Dealer !!

    Once they have your card details they take more than just the agreed deposit money !!

    But its like fishing in a barrel.... they are just so obvious, i can not understand how someone with an IQ above 5 could fall for it. They must be total half-wits.
