Notice to hubbers: I recently bought an XT Crank from a lady who's profile name is "love2cycle!" which was advertised as "new". I received it today and found that there is serious damage to the thread on left crank arm. 4 of the teeth on the big blade are also damaged. None of this was mentioned during the sale. So, beware when buying from "love2cycle!".

He also wanted me to do an eWallet transaction the whole time, but I refused.

He did not reply via hub. He only saw the adv I guess and phoned me. Seeing that my contact info is only visible to users, well...that's why I'm warning everyone. This is the most details I have guys.

Good idea actually! I'm doing that next time for sure!

No he only phoned me. no reply on the hub. And I only advertised on the hub. So I don't know what his hub username is.

No I never saw the guy. He just communicated with me by phone. English speaking; sounds Indian. Said he was from Edenvale and wasn't able to transport the bike and if I could help him. Luckily I waited long enough before paying back any money (4 days) and saw that the cheque bounced. My bank's fraud dept told me he payed it in from an ATM but we don't know which bank.

Dear Hubbers, I've recently been victim to fraud by a person who saw my add on the hub. Please be careful during sales guys! The person wanted to buy the bike and paid R2000 too much money into my account. He then asked me to pay back the money so he could pay the courier to fetch the bike. I waited for bank notifications first - this person also faked the cellphone notifications. I checked on my bank statement and money was supposedly in the account after 2 days under the name Gregg Davies. I then asked him for bank account details so I can pay back extra amount. After 2 days he sent me details of another person's account (which was frozen). The guy kept calling and bugging me for the money. Then ended up saying that his wife doesn't want the bike anymore because she's in hospital with cancer and I should please help him by paying back they money. The payment he made ended up being a fraudulent cheque. Beware of this guy. His cellphone no. is: 0726052301 (for what it's worth!)

Hi guys, I'd like to join you for the ride on 4 March? I unfortunately also ride a Cannondale... 6am then.
