PhilipV Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Open a case of fraud, and get a PI or a debt collector to find him and visit his place. It'll cost you money, but at least he will learn a lesson.
Butterbean Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 It amazes me that someone is willing to throw their reputation away for a wheelset...
Clinton H Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 What I like about this thread is in future when you google his name he will come up as a scammer/crook . I hope he's enjoying his new wheels .
gurns Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 If i'm not mistaken, I got taken by the same person about 20 years ago. The name rang a bell, and then looking at the photo reminded me of selling some timber to someone who looks a lot like him and then not getting paid.I doubt that you are going to see your wheels or the cash !!
Jacoo Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Update - he has of course not paid today. He unblocked me to "let me reply" for a while, then he told me that he will send the wheels back "minus the amount he spent on transport and truing of the wheels". This was the amount he agreed on paying even if he did not take the wheels. I of course have evidence of him saying this too.I asked him what exactly he means by "minus" that amount but he of course ditched even that question. I think he means that i must pay him that amount before he sends the wheels, but at this stage i think he'll take cash and the wheels.This is where it gets interesting. He asks for my address, then he blocks me 2 seconds after haha. Ill send whatsapp screenshots, hopefully theyre in order.
Jacoo Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Im losing my cool at this point for obvious reasons.
Jacoo Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Check how he blocks me seconds after asking me for my address...
Trek man Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 This is the thing that psss me off y can't some ppl just be honest. I hope you get sorted out will your wheels champ. Bt again if the guy that's got the wheels is a descent person he will sort thing out with seller
Trek man Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Here should be tread to name and same these tipe of ppl or to have them blocked from using hub
Butterbean Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 This guy is an utter scumbag... Charge him with theft and send the police 'round his place...
Trek man Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 This guy is an utter scumbag... Charge him with theft and send the police 'round his place... Truth not sure if police will be able to help normally they tell you it's civil mater and civil court deal with things like this.
Andreas_187 Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I bought a set of wheels from the classifieds that were completely out of true... I mean seriously out of wack, completely unrideable. The guy I bought them from insisted that they were 100% straight and had recently been trued by a bike shop. This story sounds the same.
bikebloke Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 get hold of legal aid - lay a civil court claim - he will be served(or hide doesnt matter )- if he doesnt turn up ( they never do) court default finds in favour of your claim - (claim 4k or so- replacement costs etc )- court hands off to "the sheriff" - at some point they will find him and take his car or whatever - you probably wont ever see money - but its a lekker way to F&%k up a skelm - this one needs it ..
Clayton B Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Guys, just to sort the record out here I have had plenty of dealings with Mark he is an avid collector or Italian classics I have never had a problem with payment or anything of the sort. I am sure somebody has jumped to conclusions and panicked here, it’s just my opinion because I have dealt with the gent on numerous occasions in the past.

Did you get told many stories before your dealings? As you seem to know this guy well, maybe you can get him to come here and give his side of the story as you are defending him.
kosmonooit Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 What'sa the big deal about truing wheels anyway, can do it with my eyes closed. Part of any regular maintenance. I would even go as far as saying most wheels you rid are technically 'untrue'Â Now id rims were cracked that would be a different story.
