He picked the wrong bike. Only clever people want DB2's... maybe a Mantra would have been a better bet to get results?

Clever enough to know that 2K would never get you a DB2, so no doubt he was unindated with emails, anyhow, thats what the Forums are for, aiding assisting and Warning.

Reckons the crate will be at my house next Wednesday,,,,,,just as soon as he sends the Money that is.

Anyhow, Early up tomorrow, down to Chester, River Dee side to meet up with Vort on Santa Or V-due depending how dark the clouds are. Should be there for 9am ish, then down through Wales via Lake Bala and onto Delgallau for an over night stop and back again on Sunday. PErhaps SiBag is joining also

Yeh, went through those road works and overnight in Dolgellau, sleepy town but fine, Morning weather not so, but it cleared up

UPDATE on DB2, so called "ebay" are now phoning me asking for money, strange man with an indian Midlands accent, mentioned the Serious Fraud Office and he told me to contact the seller and then he hung up.

Have contacted HSBC, couldn't get a Fraud detection phone number off the net, yet when I phoned general enquiries they gave me an 0845 pay number to call, so I gave them my number and was told their fraud detection unit would phone me....still waiting....BEWARE all HSBC bank customers, but then can't be any worse than any of the other banks. Fraudsters must be one of the only groups left making deposits in banks nowadays....Did give them the IBAN number of the account so they could try and put a freeze on the account. Told them the daft eby.pay man had phoned from a mobile and not hidden his number so a track could be put on his location, but they just didn't seem interested....What has the world come to?

Why would you not do what everybody else would do?

Post a little warning on the forum.....shrug your shoulders and smile Wink


Or string them along for ever and ever and waste their time Wink

Scammers are a way of life, we see them everyday but if your going to go on a crusade when you find one....you'll soon turn grey, get high blood pressure or worse Wink

The Serious Fraud Office contacted me because they knew I was on this forum with you. If you would be so kind to send me the funds, I'll gladly forward it to the proper account. Thank you.

Good on ya EvilChuck.

First thing that aleted me was the backdrop of the yard, yellow walls and Valvoline signs, and Yup. original bike and pictures were swiped from Google Images of a bike from Haralds Yard in Germany

And indeed here is the same yard with an actual DB2 currently for sale , in GErmany, by HArald.

Harald doesn't do 2,000GBP DB2's
