This is a scammer from Cornwall....name and shame the twat !!!

Haven't sent me the frame but I paid two weeks ago. If I lived local, he wouldn't be riding anything, if you know what I mean?

There is a PayPal request and case opened, which will end on the 11th Dec in my favour, for a refund.

I written this blog as after 3 attempts to name and shame him with a user report, Pinkbike haven't stepped in and done a thing.

Don't get fooled by lunatics like this !!!! I ain't happy....

JAKE TYSON... YOUR TIME IS UP !!!!

Hope You get the full refund from paypal.

His account isn't worth anything, hope you also learned that from an empty account Frown
Been there before myself also a empty account with just one sale on it :mad:

 I did see it but took a chance as I tracked him selling it on Ebay also, and through his Facebook, and found his info, location etc...but the lies he kept sprouting out lol. Apparently it's been sent a week saturday lol. Covered through paypal come the 11th anyway, and planning another fixie build, so enough time for a look around.

 @SEADEVIL: name and shame mate, name and shame. Only way to deal with these fcuk heads. PayPal refund is a god send in these cases thank god.
You did the checking I would do, I've dealt with empty account people, but it's been cash in hand face to face deals only.

 @ballardski: Cheers lads. Kev, it was all sorted, he seemed genuine, followed him on Ebay and messenger, sussed out his home/whereabouts/lifestyle etc....all ok? Message me saying frame was sent but kept holding off with the tracking number as he said he worked long hours. Fair enough I thought...he took it off Ebay as sold (to me I assumed) but he still had it up on Pinkbike. I said I'll open the case if he don't send, than a barrage of keyboard warrior abuse lol, then blocked me on messenger. If I only lived in Cornwall I'd squash the lying twat into a surf board shape, and skim him across the surf to France...without a life jacket if you know what I mean?

 Oh man, thats a sad story!
It happened to me too here, I never got proper compensation.
But as life turns things around eventually I ended up getting things to balance it out!
So, keep your head high!! Big Grin

 Lucky that Paypal will intervene...I hate dodgy lying twats bro. I''m a fair bloke...I expected a fair deal? Either deal/buy/sell properly, or keep out of the game because it gives us genuine bikers a bad name in the sales pages....lack of trust comes to mind. If I paid via gift it would have been money blowing in the wind....I was lucky.

 I too live by those ideologies, keep it fair and even, no BS!
Unfortunately not all are like that! Cry
Im happy to hear it will turn around for you! Big Grin

 He's lucky he's down Cornwall bro...little village hideaway trying to make a few quid. Good job we use Paypal bro or we'd all be stuffed.
