Too good to be true?
https://www.xxxxxx.shop/products/best-go
What's the catch? There's always a catch. Even if shipping out of the USA. It cannot be a couple of hundred dollars.

I say the same thing every single time, If you think it is off why would you even consider it at all? People really shouldn't be posting these threads every time it starts to feel embarrassing for the world. If it is too good to be true it is generally too good to be true. Please people don't get scammed and lose your money. Those few bucks that we think we are saving on these websites could lead to years of financial trouble or massive headaches.
A co-worker came to me recently all excited, "I got this guy who wants to buy 16 bikes from us" "what is he doing with the bikes?" "he just wants to buy them 16 bikes wowzers" "sounds like a scam" "he sent us an email how could he do that to that email" type type type "anyone can send to that email...yeah that email is a scam..." type type type google type type "...yep it's a scam artist, if you want ask him to send us several thousand dollars as a pre-payment but don't actually do that"

Seriously, a simple google image search would show that the pictures were of a $1500 e bike and you want to know whether listing it for $30 has a catch? The catch is you won't receive anything but a lot of charges to the card you give them. It's a fishing site.
Don't post links to fishing sites, That's not helping anyone but the crooks.
