Warning!! Warning!!

Got this from Retrobike - posted 15 minutes ago:

*Just had this flagged up by a friend on the CTC Forum : a guy with less than a weeks worth of posts on the CTC parts forum (going by the name of Gary :SLOWCADENCE ) posted about 15 items all of which were paid for and no goods received about two weeks ago.

He's very plausible and polite and certainly knows about bikes and things like OLN and how to measure frames c to c. He's taken about 900-1000 quid from about 9 victims. He also sold two bikes on the site before the Mods were onto him but was well away by then.

To add to the plausible nature he also offers pick up from Borehamwood.

If you are asked to sent any PayPal monies to a Gary Doran, or bank transfer to the following sort codes, please don't!

11-73-62

Or

11-02-08

Please circulate this information widely among any other forums or sites you can think of. YOU might be his next victim!*

More like SLOWBRAINDANCE if you would send more than 50p to a new user on an Internet forum..

Got any more details? I've seen incidents like this on BMX forums where the guy has been tracked down

edit: this chap is into bikes by the looks of his FB page.

I've seen this kind of thing happen on many forums across all sorts of interest groups.

The saddest thing? They always get away with it.
