Conned out of my bike

[branded]

So I posted my bike for sale on Gumtree and got a buyer. Tina Manata, apparently at Stellies call and does an EFT. I get the Sms to say that the deposit has been made, and having faith in humanity decide what the heck I'll trust him. That's Monday as of yet no funds into my account. He promised today that he'll bri g the bike back. If anybody here know this guy please send me his whereabouts.

[Vetseun]

So sorry but you have been schooled.

Plenty has been said about Scumtree here on the hub.

You wont be recieving the funds or your bike back.

Bad luck Mate

How did this go down...did his driver collect the bike...and was it for his nephew or did you courier the bike?

I am currently on board an Oil Rig in Brazil and 99% of my time is spend on bikehub...that idiot will definitely spoil my future buying and selling, as I have to rely on others back home to complete the shipping and receiving...cruel world. That said, I never use Gumtree or ship anything until money is cleared in my account

Not always feasible, but appears cash is still king.

[Dicky DQ]

Never ever let go of your bike till the money clears in your bank. No matter what the proof of payment says.

Firstly, sorry that you have been done in, Must suck big time.

Secondly, and I don't want to sound harsh and come across as being a box but dude, seriously? Faith in humanity? You shouldn't even trust your mother in law these days.

I will bet the amount that apple is now worth that you won't see the cash or bike again.

These okes are still doing this because so many people fall for it.

Again, sorry bud.

WOT?

 

"these days"

 

when was that ever an option?

[Dirt Tracker]

That is at tough one. What a royal pain in the butt. What bike was it, post pictures and description. You never know, someone might see it or be offered it. 

[Allrounder]

went through this a while back with a mate of a mate. 

 

I was VERY lucky and got my bike back. But lesson learned. 

 

Good luck man
