[#2940446]

I posted a wanted add yesterday and I got an email from a chap in spain offering me what I wanted at a good price - only thing was it was too small and also I could not be bothered with the shipping so I said no - later today I got another email from him offering me a large with a simular spec??? 2 bikes for sale???

while going through eBay I found some1 selling the bike im after and the picture is exactly the same as the guy from spain sent me - spanish SCAMMER me thinks -

I believe this chap to be offering things seen on eBay to ppl on this forum and we trust this guy, send our money and then hear nothing -

Just a warning to you guys and gals incase some1 offers you a deal to think twice

That's it? Your logic is suspect.

I'm in Spain at the moment... if you can give me some details I'll try and sort him out for you...

Card number and the last three numbers off the back would be a good start...

As per Messiah's post above, that chap contacted me after I placed a wanted ad a couple of days ago. Needless to say I didn't respond.

Interesting, the address exists and looks residential so easily traceable.
