Rayner from Stafford, advertised the bikes on Facebook and after listing them found they'd been stollen.

She said she was contacted by a man, thought to be using a fake name, who had asked to come and see the bikes.

After providing her postcode, she said the buyer "never showed up", but both bikes were stolen shortly afterwards.

Meta, the company which operates Facebook, said it worked with Stop Scams UK, a cross-industry group, to identify scams and provided advice to customers on its website.

Staffordshire police has been contacted for comment.
