Adam Rees Scammer

Hi all.
This Guy has been scamming the hell out of us pinkbikers for ages now. when one account is shut down he just starts another.
If you are asked to pay by bank transfer, seriously question it.
But if you are determined to take the risk Then look out for these names.

Adam Rees.
Jodie anne Rees
Jodie Anne Pritchard.
People have discovered several address for him but which is true god only knows. He is a persistent and serial scammer, not just on pinkbike. The guy is also a bit of a coward and has no morals at all.

If you have been scammed by him then say good bye to your cash and forget ever receiving what youve paid for as it doesnt exist. The stuff he pretends to sell is normally to well priced to be true because it is too good to be true. Boxxers for 200 or less, full bikes for half the normal going rate, brakes that he is willing to seperate and take a much lower price than you would expect to pay.

Anybody with any details feel free to post them here. im just trying to help put a stop to this c*nt so the more people that are aware of him the less will get fuked over by this maggot.

 I was the bloke he conned out of £400. Which to be honest the price was not too good to be true, it was really a market price. However I have heard nothing from the police or actionfraud. How do I progress it further I want this bloke taken to court again!

 He tried to rip me off today on Facebook. I figured it out as soon as he was trying to trade a decent bike along with a brand new profile elite to revenge rim wheelset for my at most $800 bike. So I googled it till I found the picture. But I didn't call him out right then. Instead I played along with his bullshit scam And was as nice as I could be untill he gave me his address. Then I called the f*cker out and he blocked me. Luckily I have screenshots of absolutely everything including his profile and I joined every bmx page he is a part of along with 20-30 or so I'm already a part of. Then I posted this: "**************ATTENTION***********
DO NOT BUY/TRADE/SELL PARTS TO ADAM REES. HE IS NOT LEGIT. YOU WILL NEVER GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR OR THE MONEY HE OWS YOU. HE TRIED TO RIP ME OFF BUT I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO GOOGLE IT FIRST. HE DOES NOT HAVE WHAT HE SAYS HE DOES. DO NOT BE FOOLED. DO NOT BUY/SELL/TRADE PARTS WITH ADAM REES.
ADRESS IS: 48 Norwich avenue bh26aw in Bournemouth in dorset UK
SPAM THE SHIT OUT OF THE DICK. VISIT HIS HOUSE. DO WHATEVER. HE IS A SUMBAG." And every picture/evidence I had to every single page I am as well as he is a part of. I also got about 30 shares all together. So the word is well out there.

 Just had a letter from actionfraud, I'm calling Dorset police Monday to update some more information and to help them link up a few cases against this slime ball. If he has really been prosecuted this is not looking good for him

 I have been scammer by this bloke in January. I agreed to buy a frame off areiceman on Ride io, a Trek Session that was advertised. Real name Adam Rees. His email address is adylobo1@gmail.com Mobile number 07858196021. We had sent numerous emails to each other and phone calls, no alarm bells as he obviously knows bikes and the FALSE address he gave me on Google maps has a car outside with a bike rack on it, very clever!! I agreed to buy the frame, transferred £500 by bank transfer and arranged a courier to collect from the FALSE name and address he gave me. My courier went to collect as arranged but there was no frame to collect. Obviously he will not reply to my calls and emails. Done a bit of research and he's been banned from Pinkbike for doing the same thing numerous times www.pinkbike.com/u/mattygee020671/blog/Adam-Rees-Scammer.html. Cant believe I have been scammed by another biker, never been scammed before. I have contacted the moderators, there is nothing they can really do. Reported it to Action Fraud who are investigating with both my local police force and Dorset police so hopefully they will find the ass hole. Be very careful buying anything off anyone you do not know. I'm sure he will just register under another name and carry on doing it, beware.
