Chingy182 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Him: I am interested in buying this for my cousin as a surprise for him only if you can assure me that everything is in order. I am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore I really want this to be a surprise for my cousin so I won't let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him, I am sure he will be more than happy with it. It will be secured paying via Skrill as I'm on a rig offshore. So let me know if you have an account with Skrill so I can make the payment asap. Please Note: a pickup agent will come for the pickup as soon as I have made the payment. Me: Hi Barry The bike is available. But it's completely broken and needs to be fixed by a mechanic. It should cost around R15000 to fix . But you can have it for R35000 as I charge more for offshore customers earning dollars. You will also need to buy a new fork as I'm keeping it. So basically it's just a frame then. I am a member on skrill which is great. Do you want the bike for your cousin? Him: Cool! Send me the customer ID, the full name and the email on the Skrill account so I can make the payment now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted June 22, 2018 Share Haha, I'd say there's at least a 62% chance he's a scammer. OR he doesn't like his stupid-face cousin and the surprise is the fact that the cousin will be expecting a kick-ass new bike when in fact what he will getting is a busted bike that's going to cost him R15k to get going.

JBK Posted June 22, 2018 Share I had the same - told him the advertised price was actually USD and not ZAR so price was actually US$10K and not ZAR10K - he was happy with that and made 'payment' to my PAYPAL account with user name "ekisadoos"...

Patchelicious Posted June 23, 2018 Share I dread the day some genuinely nice offshore diver tries to buy his cousin a bike for his surprise birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PygaSchmyga Posted June 23, 2018 Share I dread the day some genuinely offshore diver tries to buy his cousin a bike for his surprise birthday.The poor oke won't know what hits him! He'll tell his cousin stories about what a bunch of w@nkers hang out in cycling forum classifieds, and all he wanted to do was buy his poor cousin a nice bike.
