I've been getting bombarded with these ads lately on Instagram and just want to spread the word to save anyone's wallets. There's this brand "flonyce" that is advertising a $79 mini bike on Instagram. They've literally just copied the actual manufacturers website and claim they will sell it to you for $79.

Are you trying to tell me that a motorcycle for $80 is a scam?

Shit, I just ordered 10...

On a serious note, I started my underage son an Instagram account in February and at this point he is  being followed by no less than 20 "dirtbike cartoon design studios" accounts.

I hate those damn accounts, always trying to follow me as well.

Dude, the amount of people I run into that fall for this type of stuff is astounding. My own family included.

Been tons of scams on there. I got a bunch of Giant bike ads, takes you to a website that's a copy of the official Giant site and has $300 bikes listed, url's all funky.

I guess zuck doesn't care about scammers, their money's green too.

Maybe it's literally a diecast model and the scam is that it's over priced. Laughing

I saw that this morning.  I thought it was a payment plan or something.  Clicked the link to see, then went to their actual website and saw they were $800.  Scam.....
