Is a scammer. Tried to sell me some pictures of vintage Herse cranks. 😂 

I had some fun. They seem to not be responding now. 

Tell tale signs:
Direct message
No posts in either list I sent this to
Photos don’t match current product Herse cranks so I guess are some intense deep vintage ones. Assuming the pics are stolen from a vintage seller. 
Went silent after I offered to meet up in person in Oklahoma. Perked up when I said I’d send money sight unseen. 

Attaching pix
