mnoodles on May 25, 2025 4:36 pm yup, I have seen a variation of this listing in LA over the past few weeks. I am not sure what the scam is exactly but it is pretty obvious it should be avoided. the last listing I saw had some text along the line of: “My son was killed in a car accident so now his Brompton bike is free!” The exclamation point just rubs sand in the wound haha
iamblankenstein on May 25, 2025 5:56 pm there’s another guy saying he’s selling the electric brompton for $950. sounds extremely scammy too.
