  1. Has anyone dealt with Roberto Guiseppe? Paris, France...supposedly selling
    Giants and Treks from a shop he is closing???
    email is [email hidden]
    Also uses eBay name "navypopandmom"

    Watch out...looks like a well done scam.

    If someone dealt with this person and it worked out perfect, please contact
    me.

  2. This is just another example of a crook hijacking a honest user's eBay
    account.

    These are very easy to pinpoint, that is, unless you think that getting a
    high-end bike at less than one-half of wholesale price, from a "dealer" who
    is closing his store in France, is listing as many as 300 bikes as 1-day
    auctions, offers free shipping, spells Trek "Treck", requires payment via
    Western Union, doesn't list a size and has a photo that is either off the
    manufacturer's website that doesn't match the discription or has been used
    by a bunch of other crooks, is a great deal. Sadly, there are many people
    who think that this is a great way to buy a bike.
