I was looking to buy a bib for the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon and had posted on multiple groups. I then saw a post of a member stating they were selling two. I messaged them and sent them money via e-transfer for the bib, however they never sent me the bib and blocked me on whatsapp and on Strava. This account needs to be blocked off Strava as I am sure they are only there to scam people. Account name is: Ivy Smith.

Hi ​@bilgei,

you should submit a “Trust & Safety” ticket with Strava, there's a subcategory “Extortion and scams”:

You can report users for scamming from their profile page. In the app there is an ellipses button.

They blocked me hence why I am unable to report.
