I must be losing my touch, Alfred Samuels aka Samuel Brenden aka delete expletive has gone cold on me.

 

On a more serious note, can someone think up a system where we can publicise these clowns and their sites every time they pop up? The law isn't going to catch up with them too quickly and they know that.

 

I have alerted Windhoek Pedal Power and Rock and Rut Club in Windhoek. Maybe also via twitter using @bicyclesafetysa?

Some national structure?

It would be easy enough to track him down via IP addresses / cell phone signals etc and nail him and this bro's, but for that you need the will for justice, plus some talent, sadly those crucial elements seems to be lacking with our Police Service.

 

 

And that he can act out these fraudulent schemes repeatedly with impunity makes all the hassle and expense of RICA and FICA a total joke. Not a very funny one either.

We must rid the sport and industry of these crooks. They've obviously conned a few people already, or they'd be onto a new scam. Shame.

Hi All, this idiot is now going by the name of Samuel Brenden <collectiblebicycles@bikerider.com>

I came across his web site and decided to enquire about some bikes, before I read this topic.

 

I asked if I could view the bikes before making a final decision? first he sends me his company reg number etc telling me he can deliver to me via Globe flight, this was his response via email

 

We are under:

FEDCORP BUSINESS TRADE

We can deliver to you at your desire destination via Globe Flight courier service and within 24-48 hours, you will receive the bike once your payment is confirmed and we accept payment via EFT AND CASH ON DEPOSIT.

 

The bikes are all brand new and original.

 

We can deliver to you at your desire destination on the basis you will make a %70 security deposit so when you receive the bike, you will then send us the balance payment of %30.

 

after I again told him I want to view the bikes, this is his response

This lowlife idiot has been doing this for a while. We had some fun with him recently:

Harass him if you have the time

Is the %70 and %30 to look more official than 70% and 30%? More international?

Question, is there a language where one says "percent" before the value, kind of like the tens and units that get swapped in Afrikaans?

 

Well unless it is a currency directly proportional to every other currency?

The " %70" thing is one of his trademarks, maybeee eets French? Oooo nose? He spoke English with what could have been a French accent when Inspector Massapous spoke to him.

 

If I win the lotto, I'll hire a PI to hunt him down and break his knees.
