Dullscalpel Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 In the one ad, he has posted a picture that contains family pictures... Unless this guy is clueless about how much these bikes are worth, he really isn't smart to post identifying details

BaGearA Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 WHAT?? Post them.Lets see if he replies then I'll save it and post here.

carbon29er Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 New scam I encountered this weekend. Get a whatsapp saying they want to buy an item but need to arrange shipping. Please send address for shippers quote. Sent suburb. Then I'll pay by PayPal, send paypal email account. Then your paypal email has a block on it, please send your alternate paypal email, ie your security 1 for when you forget your password. Yeah right. Paypal now allows you to send a link to request payment. Sent this instead. And the buyer disappears and blocks on whatsapp. It must work otherwise why would they bother.

Thanks
carbon29er Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Another attempt. It's not only the sellers who are scammers. Selling bike bits I get these sorts often, here is but one, quoted verbatim: 29/03/2017 15:25: +234 705 468 8090: I saw your Goods on Gumtree co.za and i want to know the condition of the good as well..hope to hear a nice mail from you soon.Ragarding29/03/2017 15:26: Me: Like new.29/03/2017 15:27: +234 705 468 8090: Thanks very much,kindly get back to me with your full name and address so that i can forward it to the pick up agent to calculate the pick up fees tell me final price in USD?Asap.29/03/2017 15:29: Me: How are you going to pay?29/03/2017 15:30: +234 705 468 8090: Via paypal transfer ok29/03/2017 15:31: Me: OK. Send me your paypal email address and I'll send a payment request29/03/2017 15:32: +234 705 468 8090: Ok no problem please can you send me your full home address for the pick up after the payment is been made to yoiu ok29/03/2017 15:32: +234 705 468 8090: Here is my email benitalouisa22@gmail.com29/03/2017 15:33: +234 705 468 8090: you can sent me the request there ok29/03/2017 15:37: Me: It is USD 5750. Happy?29/03/2017 15:37: +234 705 468 8090: Alright Am ok with the price ok29/03/2017 15:38: +234 705 468 8090: please kindly get back to me fast with your paypal email address so that i can able to proceed with the transfer asap ok29/03/2017 15:40: Me: What are you buying?29/03/2017 16:32: +234 705 468 8090: Am still waiting for your paypal destails for the transfer ok29/03/2017 16:43: Me: Yeah I know29/03/2017 16:44: +234 705 468 8090: Alright get back to me fast with your paypal email address for the transfer now29/03/2017 16:44: +234 705 468 8090: Have not got any requested from you29/03/2017 18:39: Me: Here you go: pay me at PayPal.me/BoothBikes/5750 Naturally after the new paypal.me link sent where you don't disclose account email address the interest disappears. No quibbling on price and speed of offer to pay clear indicators that it's too good to be true.
Sepia Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I am trying to buy it. let's see where it goes.....No response. Thought I could have some fun.
