@POLITI sold some wheels to member"goodyes" , we all had the pleasure of seeing their very public spat!

He did make himself look a bit silly on that thread. Wouldn’t deal with him purely from that thread and also my gut.

Never had any dealings with him myself, he is certainly a character though and seems to upset quite a few folk around these parts

Thanks to Jon for highlighting the bloke was a scammer with a number of shill accounts.
Hope those who have lost money get satisfaction.
If he reappears on here please contact myself or another mod and we’ll ban him again.

Can someone explain what has happened? I’m not a member of the Klein group posted so cannot see

Same here, its a locked group link, interested to know what exactly has gone off as there is a lot of fragments and confusion surrounding the whole thing.

So indication of the nature of the scam - the MO etc.
Might help us to identify the scam sooner rather than later if attempted again.

Identifying that it's suspect wasn't that hard really. Here's the thread.

At the start of page 2 it became clear that this wasn't going to end well :

I'm reading some quite disturbing stories on this sale via Facebook.
Seller will only accept bank transfer or PayPal payment friends and family with no protection for buyer.

Its been reported that buyer paid deposit to sellers "friends" account via PayPal goods and service but was then refunded.

As soon as you read that the seller flat-out refuses any payment method that gives the buyer protection, you should know something's off.
That's the point where everyone should just walk away, no matter how rare and desirable the part/bike is.

If as I suspect, this is true, it is a very sad situation and makes this comment all the more insulting.....

Life is not all money, not all things can be bought, but many others can be done, with not as much if you provide the resources or people involved
