Dirkitech Posted May 16, 2019 Share My aussie slang isnt great. But I'm sure there is a phrase for this sellerI'm pretty sure the words you're thinking of is for daily Aussie use and not simple slang... I was sick Monday-Wednesday and could've had so much reading material minus the nonsense posts for points of course. Still, good to be warned of the ever present scammers, liers, unethical traders, deceitful traders, etc. lurking on the bikehub. Throttle, may I ask what your next planned move is (if you don't mind giving it away)? Laying charges? Small claims court? Write off and move on?

Patchelicious Posted May 17, 2019 Share Let's just say I will not be letting lying dogs sleep. Forthelove has been notified of how I will be proceeding. I cc'd Admin as he was part of this journey with me..Well done. Too many people just let things slide, allowing scamsters to carry on with their dodginess.

DieselnDust Posted May 17, 2019 Share Throttles, if you have time on your hands, perhaps you should investigate the legality of that SMS, in terms of falsely declaring a SAPS case number, or implying SAPS involvement. Is this not akin to impersonation of a SAPS official, which is a criminal offence, punishable by jail time in SA? Maybe it's time to put some skrik in forthelove / Gary Smith. Maybe next time he will think twice when he plans on impersonating a box for the day. there would need to be a warrant of arrest out for you if this was the case so I doubt this chop would have gone through the trouble. If he did then he's a bigger trouble for wasting the courts time as any investigating officer will review the documents, make contact and realize its a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich Hattingh Posted July 15, 2020 Share Okay. So I'm in the market to get a Diverge for a good deal. This ad comes up tonight and I get lekker excited as it's pretty much what I want to pay. Then I read this whole darn thread. Argggh. Come on. Do I take the chance and ask the chap to take the bike to a concept store in JHB so that I can get a unbiased opinion or just walk away? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/gravel-and-cyclocross-bikes/414994/specialized-diverge-expert-2020-54-inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted July 16, 2020 Share Wow.!!Saw that ad and also thought quite nice ... not that I'm in the market for anything like it.This thread does however cast a long dark shadow.Working via a credible bike store may limit your risk, but be cautious nonetheless.

The photos seemed too professional to me, so following a quick Google Image search, came up with this website:https://www.cxmagazine.com/bike-review-2020-specialized-diverge-expert-gravel-future-shock So these photos are copied from a CX Bike Review Website, so even if he did possess such a bike, these photos are not of the actual bike. How can ADMIN deal with a situation like this where the seller is clearly misrepresenting the item on sale? Do we report the advert to Admin and let them decide how dishonest this oke is?
