Polish Petee Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Hello, as the title says I have basically been scamed by a premember!! (toxisLee).I have spoken to him on MSN and we agreed on a deal which was basically a frame and a BB swap. Simple as!What happened was we have both said that we are sending the frames out the next day which was Friday and sending them by a special delivery which is guarantied next day and is recorded as well. So i went to my local bike shop which does all parcels and sended it out. But it seems like he didn't. Iv been waiting from Friday and it is now Tuesday the frame has still not arrived.

Greetings Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well, that's what you get for dealing with pre-members. Much more risky.Perhaps wait a few more days and take a train to his house, sort it out and demand a refund of the travel costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Manual Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Unfortunately I doubt you will get much sympathy. Dodgy trading is half the reason there's a new members section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Have you got a tracking number off him? Probably just not got round to sending it yet.Generally its better to try to resolve the issue with a simple email than go spouting on the forums how youve been scammed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Give it another day or two before you know for sure you've been scammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have e-mailed him a lot! His trying to blank me because he hasn't been on the forum for ages!Or maybe he's doing other things? Say he sent it at like 5 on Friday... The EARLIEST it would get to you is today. Nothing happens on the weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Petee Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 No he said that he hasn't got a mbile.Or maybe he's doing other things? Say he sent it at like 5 on Friday... The EARLIEST it would get to you is today. Nothing happens on the weekends.I understand your point but it is annoing me because he allready got my frame and I haven't got his.

Revolver Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Until the latest point for his parcel to arrive at your door, nothing's gone wrong, so he hasn't scammed you. Just be patient for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gage-mann Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 i was gone to swap my czar frame for his pitbull frame, looked good condition on pictures he showed me and my mate rode with him the other day and said the frame was in his car in box and one of the brake mounts m7 or m8 or something daft, so am glad i did'nt swap cause he dent tell me about the mount, you may get it today as said, but if not get round his and sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Petee Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 m7orm8???? He said that the threads are oly stripped and they need hellicoiling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 m7orm8???? He said that the threads are oly stripped and they need hellicoiling!If its m7 or 8 doesnt that mean its been tapped/helicoiled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gage-mann Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 If its m7 or 8 doesnt that mean its been tapped/helicoiled? m7 outer thread on a insert/helicoil is has m6 inner thread, but my mate said the mount had been strpped and was bigger than the square magura clamp rest =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Petee Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 If its m7 or 8 doesnt that mean its been tapped/helicoiled? No, because if you strip a standard frame thread which is m5 you than need to drill the hole to m5 and than tapp it with m5.8 to leave a space for the helicoil. Because if the helicoil's inside is m5 the out side is obvieusly biger.m7 outer thread on a insert/helicoil is has m6 inner thread, but my mate said the mount had been strpped and was bigger than the square magura clamp rest =\???? biger than magura mount???

JoNnY__Mc Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 He doesn't seem like the kind of person to scam you to be honest, I have dealt with him in the past and rode with him too once or twice. Give it a few more days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
