Stolen Bike in Riverside County
An industry friend in Southern California, Mitchell Bailey, called
to report a stolen bike, as well as to let his fellow riders know to
keep an eye out for scams like this:
A woman named Alex Duarte (obviously a fake name), driving a Ford F1-50
champagne color with a license plate 5AFD767, came to Mitchell's house
to pick up the bike she agreed to buy - a 2006 Suzuki RMZ450, vin
#JS1RL41C062103733 - in the evening after the banks were closed. She
paid with a fraudulent cashier's check that was so real-looking, even
the police said they would've accepted it.
And upon further investigation, the police realized that the plate did not belong to that truck.
