Don't feel bad. I almost sent a bunch of money to a scammer. They are getting tricky.

I want to report a scammer selling items here in Buysell. The user is thefoxinthebox.pinkbike.com and the ad is www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3587697.

Beware of user thefoxinthebox. I purchased a XO group set he has listed and once payment was completed, he failed to send any shipping info. He also quickly erased the conversation after payment and is ignoring all requests for refund. I did inform him that I have screen shots of all conversation and he put the conversation back up but again is not replying to any requests. He has multiple items for sale so BUYER BEWARE....


Fancy that, He has already blocked me from a previous encounter. https://www.pinkbike.com/u/thefoxinthebox/m can someone please post to his profile that he is scammer.

also, lesson learned, the price you were paying is 1/4 of msrp.

Yeah lesson learned. I was fueled by need and greed. Hope PP comes through for me. Feel free to ridicule me at will. I hope no one else falls for this, a monitor shuts him down or at least people troll the hell out of him. Thanks for all who responded.

Looks like scammer thefoxinabox has deleted his PB account. I’m sure he will be back under a different name but for now he’s out. Thanks to all who responded, the attention worked. I know everything he was listing so I plan to keep an eye out.

Did you manage to get his PayPal ID? They might be deleting and recreating PB accounts but PP accounts may remain same.

If that helps anyone from being scammed.

Another possible scammer...

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

He wouldn't send an invoice via PayPal, no seller history and just opened the account.

SRAM X01 groupset for $250? He's not even trying to hide it!

Foxinabox came up 2 days ago on page 507...

Hate to admit it, but this one got me tonight.

Had me send to an email address chrisquinn714@gmail.com

Payment receipt email came up as anthonypretot2@hotmail.com

Opened a dispute only with PayPal, since they are closed, and they denied and closed the claim already. Hopefully calling will help on Monday.

I know you're supposed to wait 5- days, but this is a clear cut scam is progress on an active FS post, so hopefully it helps prevent someone else from getting caught.

Agreed. I messaged about the following post. They responded at first, even sending an address to meet at. But, wouldn’t answer questions or send the serial number of the bike. Then they blocked me.

Here’s the post:
https://m.pinkbike.com/buysell/3591239/

Hope they take the post down and remove the user.

Another brand new seller who's willing to ship globally!

A good question to ask would be will they pack the bike themselves? Do they have previous experience with it? Which courier will they use to ship the bike? Etc.

Taking down my post. I should have investigated further before insinuating that https://www.pinkbike.com/u/kelleradams/ might be a scammer. I was wrong. My sincere apologies to the seller.

Before-warned, Yes he definitely is a scammer kelleradams/ James Diner/dinerjames2@gmail.com of Levi’s, PQ. Wish I seen this thread sooner.

I paypal'd him March 27th for his “2022 New SRAM AXS upgrade kit” and never received it. I see he’s gone from PB, for now…….

He was also selling a dual susp frameset, Rockshox fork and a brake set at the time.

In touch with PayPal now.

He may reappear and show up as someone else.

This thread is full of good advice, please follow for your own good.

He convinced me... I feel gullible and stupid! The red flags were there, thankfully I didn't commit to a purchase.

I'm sorry for your experience.

I feel it almost a duty to report scam artists in this thread now. They are everywhere on PB. Ugh!

Just got scammed by this individual as well....
The email he gave for Paypal was davemchatton@gmail.com
The Paypal receipt came through as anthonypretot2@hotmail.com
I contacted Paypal and they said that this anthony guy has a business account with many other email auth's for doing business. Gave it 12 hours to play out and....

I received a UPS tracking number as per usual.
Immediately, there was a random dispute filed on MY behalf via Paypal for $6.
UPS tracking number was fake, however it did register that it was delivered to my house in 24hrs since being purchased.
I contacted Paypal, explained situation and they refunded me all $3K.
