Beware of this account, too good of prices but figured I’d fire off some questions to feel it out. Immediately got a PayPal link with a strange email and a bunch of broken English responses…everything seems very suspect.

I also got a random response with less than usual English. And an email address that's very random. I'm not sure ....

Definitely a scammer, listing for the fox shock already sold by PP user https://m.pinkbike.com/u/airsoftesneeto/. Be careful.

Thanks for the heads up .... price seemed too good for a super yari and then the X2 is definitely the photos from the other users listing.
Also I believe his location changed from Pennsylvania to Indiana over night.

barorgj02 is a scammer trying to pay with a “cashier check.”

https://m.pinkbike.com/u/barorgj02/

barorgj02 says:
Is your posted item still available for sale, what is your last asking price and the present condition?

Me:
Yes, it is available. Everything else you asked for is in the listing. I feel like you didn’t even read the listing with those questions, which makes me think you don’t have genuine interest in my item.

Thanks for getting back to me but am not available to come your location to check the condition but am okay with the description as stated online, the method of my payment is by a cashier check while I will instruct my financial institute to issue the check to you by postal mail service and I will need your full name, full mailing address, cell phone number and email address to facilitate the mailing of the check..


Just got the same scam from

User Kwamej is a scammer.

I paid for a bike using Paypal. They tried the old "send me a screenshot of the receipt, it's my buddy's Paypal account" tactic. They then ghosted me on PB after I asked them to confirm the legitimacy of the posting by sending me other pics of the bike. I ended up disputing the transaction on Paypal as a result.

Recently, they started attacking me on Paypal saying that I bought crypto from him off some random site and was trying scam him. Even suggested that I faked the screenshots I included on the dispute of our PB conversation by creating two accounts. I'm faaaaaaar too lazy to do that lol

https://www.pinkbike.com/u/Kwamej/

Moral of the story, always use Paypal for these things. They tried to get me to use Venmo and I imagine things would be far less amusing to me right now if I had.

https://m.pinkbike.com/u/Tilala12/. This person didn’t even bother translating the listing for "SRAM X01 Eagle 12-speed rear derailleur + lever" from German to English. Stole the listing from a German site. Beware
