Haven't laughed so much in ages ....................
Slightly dodgy looking advert steer clear simple.
Buy cheap sell at a profit makes the world go round last time i looked or shall we start a mass protest at the advertisers on this very forum for daring to make a living ?? (That was of course a joke)
BEWARE, charliefjking@yahoo.com is alive a well under both these user names on here.

He is also on pinkbike as kingsmountainbikes and www.americancycles.co.uk
07889208938 is common to all as well.
I have been messaging him this afternoon about his Orange Gyro he has for sale and smelled a rat. Much detective work later after he gave me the charliefjking@yahoo.com email has taken through all these users.
If any of you have doubts to his honesty, check this post out pretending he is new to the site:

Hi there,?Using my girlfriends account she just bought her new bike on here and recommended the site to me. very interested in the frame. Can you please give us a text on 07889208938 got a handful of questions but I'll more than likely have this to replace my mojo SL!?Cheers
Anyway, suffice to say I wont be taking him up on his offer.
I've been lurking on here for a while and don't often post, but felt you all had to be made aware of this slippery character.
If you're convinced that these are the same person then email the Mods as multiple userids is a no-no.
Really, ok will do.
seems fairy snuff to me, nothin wrong with a bit of wheeler dealerin', if nothing is nicked, it is quite entrepeunerial....
The multiple logins all selling high end kit seems a bit odd, though?
No this guy is taking the mickey big time.How can you trust someone so deceptive with simple questions of age wear, use etc.. Any dealings with him you are going to be short changed in one way or another.
Everyone has a sneaking admiration for an Arthur Daley character, but you didn't see him dressing up in disguise and changing the name of Daley Motors every week!
Just seen his, I'm convincd he's taking part infraudulant transactions imho.
Not proven but definitly guilty until proven otherwise with this one.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's the chavvy from belfast selling the curtis s1 frame (200) crc price for full build at £1350 and not a penny less even though he has listed as buy now or best offer.
Very strangeways that.
Burn the MF down!
wunundred! 🙂
I love it when you lot go mental about people on the classifieds when, really, he's probably just a kid who buys and sells parts to fund his hobby. So what? There is no deception. He e-mailed you, paid you and that's the end of it. The person that buys it from him obviously thinks it's still an OK deal.
mojoman- please ignore this bunch of grumpy middle aged farts and enjoy riding your bike.
he lies like a cheap watch-- read his posts-- works in bike shop-- then says he is no good with mechanicals-- as for all the dental bull.......
he's probably just a kid who buys and sells parts to fund his hobby
I have some money stuck in a Nigerian bank account and you seem like you could help me with this situation.
Rudebwoy- there are lots of people in bike shops who couldn't fix bikes but are good sales people and know about bikes.
Similarly, when I was his age, I sailed most weekends, rode bikes a lot, did A levels and worked 20 hours a week in Morrison's. It's not so hard to believe.
so this money I have can you help
I can give a compelling explanation of my situation that will meet you with great happiness.
My friend, please be trusting of me
Munrobiker, I presume you haven't read all of this thread, because nobody could really be as gullible as you sound.
listen up munrobiker, as above, you havent done your homework, read a few of his 'ads' -- then some of his 'posts' --under different names, there is a pattern ......anyway please help junkyard with his money problem
Who cares? Don't buy if you don't like the price!!!
Hora, it's not just the price, it's the lack of trust due to the lying and made up stories.
Whatever happened to that guy who scammed folk for his sent on here?
There's always going to be a certain element that will try to take advantage of genuine people on these forums.
I say do your homework before you buy and before you sell for that matter. I would rather sell to a genuine buyer for slightly less than for more to these types. If they were honest and upfront about things then maybe it would be different.
Amazing what you can find out about these characters with very little investigation.
By the way, anyone want to buy some top drawer frames, very little use 😀 need funds for another vasectomy
Ha lmao and pmsl at empire!
Good end to this topic but will folk update if they have had more serious problems with him as this will help with the investigation forward.
Ha.
