MTBRIDER1234 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Hey hubbers, I like to think most of you are rad people, and for the most part, you are. This user has started harassing me and making racist comments after I did not accept his offer of 500 on something I have listed for 875. He got extremely rude and vulgar, insulting my bike, then changing my name on whatsapp to dog and saying how I am poor and need the money to live and buy food. Anybody who has seen my forum posts of my bike will know that I ride a 1 of 20 Mercer hungry monkey. Hardly what I would call a "extremely shitty bike". Sorry for the rant, I have reported him and just wanted to let you guys know what a disgusting excuse of a human some people are. Please feel free to pm me any bad experiences you guys have had with him, as I think it is nigh on impossible that I am the only one.

Thanks Eddy, I think there is something not quite right with his profile. Maybe a burner one? Just judging by the name, 0 forum posts and 0 ads ever. Seems kinda like a troll account to me.

Had a similar experience with another user. The guy went crazy. He has been targeting young cyclists on various platforms. Reported it to Bikehub and they were great in dealing with it. Sad to experience people having to harass others purely for whatever reason only known to them. Hairy, MTBRIDER1234 and TheoG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really put a proverbial bitter taste in my mouth when it comes to selling things. Same reason I stopped selling on gumtree, too many not so nice people. Anyway, thanks for the replies all.

You are a youngster with what sounds like a good head on his/her (sorry do not know your gender from your username) shoulders. Just shrug it off going forwards and realise that unfortunately in like you will find people like this.

Thanks Hairy, I am a guy and my name is Connor (I have no problem posting my name as my number is up on my ads) I have had experience dealing with worse people on gumtree who would lie and try to scam me.
