Gerhardc Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) the same scam as the Bronson also on OLX.....this time the owner is in Swellendam and also moving to US.....same type of letter!!! http://www.thehubsa....ge__hl__bronson Edited June 4, 2014 by Gerhardc
Stefan Jacobsz Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Hi guys, I found this same conman on OLX. Same story but a few changes: His alias is now Simpson Brooks Bartlett, the bike viewing address apparently4 Ashton Road, Swellendam. Cell: 078 206 8057 e-mail: simpsonbrooksbartlett@hotmail.com I just felt compelled to share this. Be careful out there! "When its too good to be true, it usually is" as they say on some of the sites. Santa Cruz Tallboy must be his favourite... See the attached *.pdf. It's the same MO as below e-mails.Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon C XX1 Large Mountain Bike Bicycle Shimano Fox 32 Float.pdf
#onelife Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 The same bikes are advertised online in the USA with the same description. Seems to cut, paste and post... The Tallboy is advertised for USD55k if you are interested
DJuice Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Tried to phone, was willing to have a look. Having a k.... day, this would have been fun. Phone on voice mail.
