Paid thru paypal goods and services. Seller claims he sold it to someone else for more money and did not see my note that I had sent the money, yet he accepted it. Told me to dispute it with paypal, when he could easily refund it if he were not scum.

Bike is still up for sale, even though he claims he sold it, so beware!

Seems like this guy got his account hacked. Not sure what happened here: "Original Post Date: Jan-23-2011 8:50:52"

This looks fishy - 2015 account, back to life with extremely low prices, no other sold items.

Beware before you take plunge :

I agree, when you look up thee same title on eBay you get the bike for 3990$. The other bikes are under the same circumstances with the pictures and description being the exact same. His account is

I do not want to jump the gun on anything but multiple ads on higher end/late model bikes for pretty low prices; seller registered on PB only since 5/29/2023

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3645982/

also see below may be related with the use of "My City" again used in the location line.

Hope they are legit but please be careful folks.

This is 100% a scam - guy scammed me with the same account, same frame same pictures. I reported it to mods and nothing has been done, hes back at it again. He will ask for money to mirsharifi81@gmail.com

He'll get banned again in afew days (probably longer). Make another account, and scam again. This site is a joke.

I can pull up 20+ active ads right now that are scams, and have been reported days ago.

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

Username: servinmuca is a scammer. Had a few bikes posted for almost too-good-to-be-true prices, was going to buy a Pivot MachSL from him, responses to questions seemed generic and odd, paypal username was weird too, asked for serial number of bike and he cropped a picture from the internet of a different sized but same model Pivot MachSL. DO NOT BUY from servinmuca. Reported to PB as scammer.

I feel like I just got conned. Had a fork for sale. Dude on here wanted it. Requested it to be sent to a different shipping address than what is on his paypal account. Claimed that he hardly ever uses it, so he forgot to update. Anyway, the fork ended up being shipped to the address on the account. Delivery confirmed by USPS. He opened a claim for a charge back, claiming he never received it. Looking at his profile on PB, he is claiming residence in a different location than any of the addresses he gave during this whole fiasco, and he cut off contact while he kept me on the hook and told me he was waiting on his bank for a possible issued refund. Paypal is soulless. I feel like I threw away a fork that he may have actually received, but this person is playing some misdirection. I have no way to prove it though. And Paypal charged me an extra fee to do it all. Sh*t. I feel stupid and furious at the same time. Not sure I should name the person here. There has been an active profile since 2017. Rant over. Thanks for listening.
