Scammer on Facebook
« on: February 25, 2015, 11:21 PM »
Not sure weather people are aware of a kid who's tried to scam a couple of lads with a red Torker 280. His name is Owen James or Owen J Mackell. He's apparently took some guys cash already on one page and tried in on a couple of others. Be aware Boys n girls.  :police: :police: :police: :daumenhoch:

Heres the ebay link.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-school-BMX-bike-Torker-280-/111602273947?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fc038e9b

I don't think the ebay seller is connected to OJ on facebook.

It's so easy to do if you've got the bollox.
If peeps are paying him via paypal it will be linked to a bank account so he will get caught.

But if people are paying 'gift' like we all do on here, they won't get their money back.

true! but this guy should still be reported/prosecuted
makes me feel a bit better about being sometimes labelled as the sales  :police: on the FB group - it might mean restricting things a bit, but at least it means there's a bit more protection for buyers only having to deal with tag owners from here

Some price drop that... it was up for £800 the other week.
The only way to be sure you're not getting ripped is to arrange for cash on collection.  :daumenhoch:
Nice Torker for the money... bit too much gold for my liking tho.  :)

I would say so, looking through their feedback, there is a few purchases from some of the bmx sellers....

Although you never know until you jump.
