Also, the scammers have been getting a hold of old accounts that actually have selling history and pictures and whatnot - the "maturity" of a sellers account is not a good indicator of trustworthiness.

Avoid this guy.

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

Purchased the fork he had for sale and he went radio silent. Won't respond to my messages and never sent me a tracking number. He also wanted my phone number once payment went through but I didn't give it to him. Had to open a dispute with PayPal, but unfortunately it will be 10+ days before anything gets resolved.

On PayPal his name shows up as Justin Allanic in Pinkbike messages he told me his name was Olly Walsh.

Bdepierre Scamming with a trek remedy 9.8. Out $1690 for a bike that doesn’t exist… said he sent it to the bike shop already so couldn’t supply a requested video of the bike. Did not supply bike shops name or phone number… radio silent now.

Hopefully PayPal will refund in a timely manner

I don't see a way this listing is legit.

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3684734/

They have a few items for sale, but all are pictured in wildly different locations.

I messaged the seller to ask why there were selling they said, "I have to sell my bike, so now I want to sell the accessories"

However, one of the three wheelsets they claimed to sell as accessories of the bike is quick release, two are through axel which made me suspicious.

I asked how they liked riding the wheels, and their response was, "As you see, it's very good, with my garantie"

Just wanted to get this information out.

There is a new-ish (Jun 23) website selling O'Neal MTB items at significant discounts. It is a scam site. Their physical address comes up as a military commissary (grocery store) in AL.

The address is https:clearancecycling.com

Paypal is also aware this fraudulent website.

This listing for the Switch9er FS TI seems a bit suspicious:

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3681738/

Especially given this eBay listing that they've clearly copied all the information from:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/155619503479?ff3=2&toolid=10044&campid=5337101163&customid=&lgeo=1&vectorid=229508&item=155619503479&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&ufes_redirect=true&nma=true&si=Am%252F0uBMrh5Mfy5SSEXN8POzWnWY%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I was messaging with him, all responses were very short, and vague...
