Hey i been looking for bike stuff on craigslist and i have stumbled across a few place which have way too much merchandise to not be a shop, so i google the phone number they gave (because there is no bike shop in that area) and i stumbled across some people in another bike forum talking about how this place is sketchy and possibly sell stolen bike stuff.

well i found another place and this guy posts A LOT. if you go to Phoenix.craigslist and search this number 602 481 5501 you will see what i mean.. Any advice? i emailed this person (because the cross streets are a LBS location) to see if it's just the LBS getting some cheap advertisement or not. Advice?

Inform your local police department about your suspicions and why you have them...Don't do any business with these Craigslist people at all.

Get the name of the police department that handles these types of matters and write down the name of the officer in charge. Inform that police officer that you will be returning your phone call in a few weeks to get an update.

If not satisfied with police response, don't bother. Move on!
