Long Wheel Base Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 oh rats - that means the tandem is not finding a new home for Christmas ....but the .. "write me back" ..... may have put the spidey senses onBe careful Slowbee, calling someone a rat will get you fired.https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/breaking-enca-boots-news-director-kanthan-pillay-over-rats-tweet-20191220 Sorry, off topic.
Skylark Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Had this response to my ad yesterday:"Do you still have for sale if so,kindly write me back on (torseinmichealhans1@gmail.com) for further conversation." His reviews showed he has been reviewed as a scammer but I reported it and see he has been blocked so well done the Bikehub admins.His username was Michael001, incase he reappears somehow.....I've noticed when you get someone that asks to take the conversation off site as their initial response and also doesn't ask any pertinent questions about the item you are selling they are typically scammers. It'll be something lame like "Hi, I'm interested please email me on xxxxxxx@gmail.com" etc. I've also had a similar thing with SMS. Edited December 20, 2019 by Skylark Matt 1
Ramrod Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Had this response to my ad yesterday: "Do you still have for sale if so,kindly write me back on (torseinmichealhans1@gmail.com) for further conversation." His reviews showed he has been reviewed as a scammer but I reported it and see he has been blocked so well done the Bikehub admins.His username was Michael001, incase he reappears somehow.....Same here. Said he was in the US and wanted to pay via PayPal. After being scammed no so long ago I thought I would wait a bit and see.
Long Wheel Base Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 This is not a scammer from here but rather my club. This is from the chairman and off our whatsapp group. The phone number is in the screen shot. Hello Friends, Hope that you are all well. Just had an incident on our social group. "Alice Hopley" has had a number of "good deals" on offer. Turns out that Alice is a "Pali Lisis" - apparent scam artist ????. The links to all our groups are sent out in our Welcome Letters to new members and are included in the newsletter .. which goes out to members. "Alice" is not on our member database, so would not have received anything containing links from the club. Open to workable suggestions on how we can avoid this happening again. Kindest regards
Loose cog Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Possible scammer called me regarding a wanted ad. Said he has the rare part lying in his workshop but a few people interested in the same part. First to pay gets it. Luckily I called his bluff and said I have a mate who can pop around to pay and collect. Not answering or returning call or whatsapp. Goes by the name of Paul using 0655375675.

Mikejk Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) This Torseheinmichealhans1@gmail.com seems to be spreading his wings. I put up 2 individual ads on Guntree (Gun Africa )for ,22 rifles which Im assisting family members to sell. He replied to both saying hes from Germany , wants me to give Pay Pal details and he will arrange for a courier to collect. After initially advising him of the legal red tape regarding police export permits aswell as import permits into Germany together with a myriad of other legal ramifications he thankfully disappeared. I suspected a scammer from the outset. Edited December 26, 2019 by Mikejk
