For your mates sake I hope it's a genuine ad

Looks like one of Subwax/Wundawend29's pictures.
As far as I know he doesn't use Craigslist and certainly doesn't live in london.

If your friend's paid via PayPal i'd do a reversal of funds as i'm 99% sure he's been fcuked over

the guys name on invoice is   a w chmielewska from Selby

This photo was also in an advert on Gumtree about a year ago....I entered into conversation with the owner, didn't go anywhere though after I asked to come and see it as I'm in London and I got no reply.

I'd say you're defo right on that one. Top work Steve 


100% one of Neil's (subwax/wundawend's) photos in my opinion. See the 2 below, of a changa he sold about 3 years ago (I saved these from his ebay listing when I was researching all things VDC prior to buying one). Look closely at the profile of the skirting board, colour and style of flooring, and the beading - it's the same. The angle of his photographs are also very consistent. Most of his framesets are photographed from the same angle.

...which is 200 miles north of London. Hope it works out ok for your mate, but looks well dodgy to me

Shame that but have to agree with above and it's a bit cheap for one of these and it wouldn't go on Craigslist it'd be on eBay etc or a BMX forum or Facebook page

I know what you are saying I have emailed niel to see if the pic is one of his .when my mate asked me terry had said he was selling one of his but unfortunately my friend seems to have gone the wrong way
mot only that it was a bank transfer so seems like fraud all round to me

[nitrohopper]

I have the address in Selby anyone on here live in Selby or know anyone who does

[nitrohopper]

i am now 100 percent sure my mate has been fooked over ,yes it was one of neils pics ,do we have any debt collectors on here that would like to recover some money for a buddy abroad  as I know he was a little silly but doesn't deserve to hung out to dry for £1200 plus how ever much he has also paid the seller for his skyway graphites which the seller also fictitiously sold this fellow bmx enthusiast
another scammer to add to our list of arseholes

Is this a matter for the police?

[brummie]

Is this a matter for the police?

i would say absolutely andy

[CustardLips]

Cnuts trick. 

[In2bmx]

What a Cnut ..

Buyer was clearly naive, but hate to see stuff like this happening

I highly doubt whatever address is on file is legit, but hope someone is able to get these bastards through the bank details - it's by no means a trivial amount is it?

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

Can the bank reverse the payment if sufficient information can be provided to show the ad was bogus? Steve raised his suspicions, i got hold of one of Neils old photos as a comparrison and Neil (wundawend) has confirmed the photo used in the ad was his. There must be a record of communication such as emails between the buyer/seller, and the location details on the ad do not match the one on the invoice. There is a name and address for the seller too. A difficult one, especially as the buyer lives overseas, but defo worth taking advice from the bank/police/citizens advice or a similar body. It's not a small amount of money is it? Graphites as well? He must have been taken for over 2 grand on this one...

sorry Lee - in the interests of not wanting your mate in MY to be done over (again) I thought it best to remove the last post with address/sort code/acc number etc from a forum that can be viewed by the public
