I sent 170$ to buy the fork and get it shipped. I paid with paypal. After 2 weeks, I still hadn't received the fork so I tried contacting him on pinkbike. He still hasn't answered. I also tried e-mailing him with his paypal adress but I learned that the e-mail wasn't valid anymore. I made a claim to get my money back on paypal, his account doesn't exists anymore, I am still waiting to see if Paypal will issue a refund. So, has anyone else sent money to this guy? The ad is still on pinkbike and he isn't marked as a scammer yet so make sure you don't send him money.
I don't know his real name. His paypal account was in the name of Joe Sakkic. I thought that maybe he just didn't want his real name to be shown. I was stupid, I didn't take time to think about it because it seemed like a good deal and I thought Paypal was a 100% safe.
