Hello Runners
Am looking to transfer my bib and any part of your running bicycle registration due to a knee injury if anyone is interested please text me on mobile number: +1 (325)
245-5676
Thanks
This attempted scam is one of many that regularly appear on the running social media site Strava. It is looking for people who would like to take part in an event, to make contact with a view to paying for the race entry (or 'bib') to be transferred to them. The scammer gets payment, then shuts down all contact with the victim.
