possible wanted forum scam

Hi, i'm not sure weather this person saw my wanted on this forum or singletrack but their name is vojtech chaloupka from the czech republic. <vojtechchal09@gmail.com> is his email.

I advertised if anyone had a 1999 specialized fsr elite, pro or max backbone that they wanted to sell and he emailed me and I was almost going to send payment but wasnt sure about western money transfer so googled. And guess what posts from other unrelated forums saying problems and issues about this person.

What ignited my suspicion was the bike was sold on retrobike in 2012 and he used exactly the same pics as was used in that advert.

cheers

There was a dodgy spec ground control thing in our forsale section
Description didn't match the photo enough , might have been pulled by our rob
That was a foreign gentleman that was the vendor

Watch out watch out there's a scammer about

well thats the thing I was after the bike, he was selling..... bike for £200 poasted from the czech republic, but transfered with western union.... One post I found was for steam engine parts or something like that
 
Not much we can do about it then ... except maybe warn you about throwing out your mail address in public. I guess you've figured that out by yourself now.
