Just call the fuzz if he's scamming. Easy for them to track him down, and if they do it will probably lead to other interesting stuff.

Now the seller is probably just a bikeshop moonlighting as a STW'er however the 'history' is all for sale stuff- nothing else yet someone was potentially going to wire over £1,500 of their money to someone they've never met?

I read that as the potential buyer taking the pee out the seller.

neninja, the link he had on ebay for the bike has been dropped form ebay I think he's onto what happening here, stick up the user name for the scooters to see if he can be flushed out.

That listing disappeared because Ebay shut him down. His account has been closed or suspended.

Hi,
My wife made the mistake of ordering my sons xmas present ( scooter) off him and then the account disappeared. i have opened a complaint against him through ebay and i have phoned him from the number given on here. Again just got a load of excuses!! does any one have his address? as my son might end up without his present for xmas as Paypal wont give me the money back in time to be able to get him one in time!!Posted 5 months ago # -
to the OP, get the address info from neninja (nice work there fella, are you the mcnninjas neninja?) and go to the police. They do investigate internet scams and frauds.
Once an investigating officer has been allocated I'd pass on all the extra info this thread has gleaned (ie. ebay and pinkbike scams) as "we've" already done some of the leg work, and in all likelihood the contributors here are more computer savvy than whichever copper gets given the case.
Ive nearly always used gift as both buyer and seller and have never been ripped off, though basic stuff like posting history can give you a feel for the seller (I wont buy from new registers, or classified-only posters). I've used internet classifieds for years with only positive experiences, when I worked and lived in the US in 1998 I bought a Litespeed frame from a guy in california. He posted the frame to me (3000 miles away in Philly so not exactly pitchforking distance) and said either send him a check or return the frame if I didn't like it.

Now he has phoned me back and promised that it will be delivered but yet again couldn't give me a tracking reference for the parcel. Interestingly enough he left the trading name of DKA wheels with my receptionist. Don't know if this is another front or fake but there is a facebook page for the company. I am beginning to get extremely worried that my son wont have his present for xmas morning now.

Strange, if the seller disappears from eBay (i.e. suspended) then I thought Paypal pretty much accepted it was a scam and refunded.

Yes they will but you have to wait the mandatory 8 days before they will refund it.

Yep, seem to be a few mcnninjas folk around on here.

What is the latest on this one.??

The seller decided that he was infinite consciousness, and therefore we are all linked cosmically.
Everyone lived happily ever after and a nice theme tune played till the end credits finished rolling. It was epic.

I think they've all rolled over and given up. None of them asked for the details I had.
Scammers will continue to get away with it when their victims are so accommodating.

Littledean is genuine too - whether or not he sold the Turner frame I don't know, but he's not a scammer. Can't be too careful though.

Poor show. You're still my hero for doing all that digging though!
