When last was it serviced, how long have you owned it?? and what's your lowest price for it. Let me know your price for it .I hope to hear from you soon,
Regards.

ME
I service all my own bikes, basically I import them straight from factory myself and build them. I have it 3 years and selling as I have a new frame just in to build a new bike. realistically I won't sell for anything less than £650. If it sell great but only at that price.

I was selling my bike on kijiji and got the same emails from Rose Wilson

She told me to check my JUNK mail for the paypal confirmation. The email was from "intl.paypal.com" and was in the spam folder. So of course I knew there was something wrong.

I googled "Rose Wilson scam" and this came up. I hope somebody sees this warning in time too, like me. thanks 8)
