Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 "Thanks for your Anticipation Patronage" Yeah. Like that's proper inglish. Dude, it's a scam. No pom worth his salt would speak like that. And listing all those different delivery methods, as if they will cater to your preferred carrier? Right.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Oh, and they use USPS but are based in the UK... HUH!?
Grebel Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 R6000 for Sram Red groupset? I'm looking for a new groupset but this seems to good to be true! There's your answer right there. Rule of thumb is if it looks too good to be true, it generally is.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Anticipation Patronage is nigerian for "All your Ronds are ours. Bitch". Yeah. Just lucky I speak Nigerian as well then... And what is the factory's "returnable policy" ? A policy that can be returned to the factory, rendering your warranty useless? PAH!

One of the few upsides of colonialism - they taught such textbook english it makes spotting a scam as easy as watching the sun rise...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 One of the few upsides of colonialism - they taught such textbook english it makes spotting a scam as easy as watching the sun rise... ROFL. either that, or they have the AutoSpelling dictionary replaced with a Thesaurus...
Eldron Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 ROFL. either that, or they have the AutoSpelling dictionary replaced with a Thesaurus... Methinks you're right - probably that. The words are always flawless - it's the order that is questionable. Good call!
Cav' Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 You should screw with him and tell him you want Sram Blue -He'll reply : Ok I send for you in blue
Let's Ride Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 You should screw with him and tell him you want Sram Blue -He'll reply : Ok I send for you in blue Haha. Ask some technical questions. Shifter reach adjustment. Cassette ratios. Crank arm length. If they know this stuff then might not be a scam. But I rate it's a scam.
