As some of you know I’ve been looking for the rods and pin connectors for my manitou fs. Hard to find but somebody on here who’s user name is Rebecca said they knew somebody with these and would put me in touch. I thought fab. I was too keen. I was then emailed by a gmail account rufuscart38@gmail.com saying he had the parts from a bike he was dismantling. 150usd. I trustingly paid via PayPal friends and the email was a stephenmuia6@yahoo.com.
Now I haven’t had them delivered and the emails are dead ends. No replies.
I was a dumb fcuk and shouldn’t have trusted but I’ve always felt trusting towards this site. It’s a small community and have never had any other problems with dealing with others.
So... I guess what I’m saying is I’ve learned that even an IT graduate can be scammed. So make sure you check things out when you trade as even somebody who thought he knew a thing or two about IT\ web stuff can be mugged.
Can the mods do anything about the Rebecca6 user? Block.
Anybody got a broken mani fs they wanna sell?
No sympathy being looked for. I was dumb. And in a Hill Street Blues style: “be careful out there”.
