Hi,
I'm asking for two minutes of you or your kid's time to help get a scammer out of business and perhaps give you (or your kids) some entertainment on the side. I found him after my attempt to pick up a mountain bike online when I visit the states for Chanukah. I had my hopes up, only to realize I was dealing with a scammer. My goal is:
- to ensure no ones gets ripped off by this fellow
- give him 'tzorris'
Bottom line: he's advertised the same story a half a dozen times attempting to sell a bike for about $1,200 (not pocket change). 90% likelihood he's outside of the U.S. as he writes in a broken English
Please email him that you are interested in one of his offers below and string him along till I get his email account closed and he shlepps out to get his loot at MoneyGram. You should then get an email supposedly from UPS confirming shipment. It looks quite legit so this may even be a ring. If I do get a nice response I'll open up a blog for the story line. I used my personal email and if you want to give a ficticious mailing address, pick an apartment building. I plan on using two more names to correspond with him as it is!
His email: brn...@yahoo.com
Location: Winston, NC (yes, right!)
Some of His merchandise (take your pick):
Specialized S-WORKS Stumpjumper FSR $1,200 on nsmb.com
Speecialized S-WORKS Stumpjumper FSR $1,250 on whistlermountainbike.com (not the same bike)
Specialized S-WORKS Stumpjumper FSR for $1300 at bikemagic.com
2005 Specialize S-WORKS Stumpjumper FSR for $1,250 at cyclingforums.com
05 Specialized S-WORKS Stumpjumper FSR $1,250 at ridemonkey.com
I think you get the point. They all have the same exact story line:
It has very few miles on it. Unfortunately, it is too small for me, so I ended up riding my other bike more. It is in excellent (like new) mechanical condition.
And they were all post edon Nov. 13
You can use my email thread below to see what to expect of for Inspiration:
Good Day,
Arie

Hi,
I am interested in this model bike.
What year is it? How many miles do you have on it? How do you plan on
dealing with payment and shipping? Any scratches or parts that need
replacement.
Thanks,
Arie

Bike has been ridden less than 1000 miles! Better than new (pedals included)absolutely mint condition. Year is 2005 and size is medium. Where are you located?

Hi Brian,
I'm from New Jersey, but would like it delivered when I'm visiting my
In-Laws who leave near Boca Raton, Florida (will be on vacation with
my family) which is closer to you, but still a long drive, right?

i live in Wilson, NC , so shipping to NJ is only $30 with UPS, and i think is easy to ship it, let me know,----------

OK, good deal. I really need it to go to Deerfield Beach, Florida
though, as I am not returning to New Jersey for some time and I'd like
to use it on my vacation there as well. In fact I am rarely at my home
address and plan on taking it with me when I go overseas as well!
I do have Florida listed as an alternate address in my paypal account
as well. Let me know what you need from me to make this happen. I
imagine I will need some identity confirmation from you as well before
I send payment.
BTW: What is the proper height for you bike as you said you were too
tall for it? I'm pretty sure, Medium is good for me but I'd like to
confirm it.
Thanks,
Arie

Bike was shipped, i think UPS confirmed yet, so now please go ahead and find a nearest Money Gram agent and send the money to this address:
Brian Perkins
2200 CandleWood Dr.,
Wilson, NC 27893
After submitting the payment, please email me the transfer details.
As soon as I will receive the payment details I will check on-line if the money are available, after you will receive the tracking number from UPS. Don't worry about charges because i will deduct from total amount.
thanks,

OK Great Brian! Yes, I got the email from UPS.Thanks for the fast service.
You didn't tell me what the shipping charges were to Florida? Please
let me know ASAP? I want to take care of this today to get my UPS
reference number.
Also, why don't we just use PayPal? Its so much more convenient for me.
Thanks,
Arie

OK Brian, whatever works best for you, its all the same money to me. I
think this bike is a great deal. But I did notice moneygram now allows
one to send online
https://www.emoneygram.com/eMoneyGram/index.do
How about we go that route? I can give them my Credit card for same
day service so we can wrap this up!
BTW: what is your other bike? Is it as nice as this stumpjumper?
