[Closed] AVOID CALLUMJ10 ON PINKBIKE

Was it a boy or a girl - hope the mums are doing OK

Some of these pinkbike guys have kerazy lives, have a bit of sympathy! 😉

Poor chap, I'm worn out reading about his life.

Didn't he go on holiday, or have some IT problems?

"Can you lend me £1 for the bus cos me mum's uncle's auntie's dog's in hospital and I need to get to Birmingham to get my house keys cos I locked myself in the car going to see my daughter give birth to my long lost brother."

The number of these people who have sudden family medical emergencies is staggering. Both me and my wife have been fed similar lines before.

He might just be genuinely hopeless

You got a refund, which I doubt you'd have got if he was out to rip you off.

As it was only £40 I took a punt and got kicked in the fruits lesson learned but I can't help wonder why he kept answering my emails ??

Maybe he has a smartphone, but is not clever?

Can someone decipher his last message please ?

'Whatever else daft c*nt do wat ye want ye little divvy'

I'm guessing by the 'ye' he is a Shakespeare follower but can't make the rest out

I'm lost. Did you get a refund OP?

Nope got nothing

Ah, I misread, I thought you got the refund. BURN HIM

Either he's ripped off alot of people or he eats through bikes.....
Id be tempted to small claims court him - it should cost anything when it's only for £40 iirc and it may scare the proverbial out of him when he gets a court summons through the post.

Also may not have the brains to use his twitter profile name as his pinkbike name?

Of course it may not be him....

'Whatever else daft c*nt do wat ye want ye little divvy'

hah, not heard the word divvy in years, was the standard insult at school

That Pinkbike account stinks of stolen bikes. Lots of high end kit for sale, offers accepted for quick sales, etc. Mmmm, fishy!

I used to work in a record shop. I am not exaggerating here when I say I used to get 2 people a week saying they needed a refund without a receipt as the person they bought the item for had died. 2 a week - honestl!!

I didn't do hundreds of refunds either.

Definitely fishy. I was offered the same Merida one forty in his sales history as a swap for a bike I was selling last year. The photo was identical but it was from a different account in a similar location IIRC.

monkeyboyjc - Of course it may not be him....

With detective work like that, you may not want to look at his tumblr account (NSFW)

Report him on pb. They take this kind of stuff quite seriously.

Yeah - thought I'd better not post a link to that! Oh course they could be three unrelated people?
Pinkbike says Cheshire, twitter says Newbury.
Pinkbike account stinks of stolen bikes though, that many bikes forsale at the same time. Only thing that indicates real bikes is that most of them are photographs in the same garden.

Report him to pinkbike, the. Post the story on their scammers thread here:

http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=17388&pagenum=655

Yes, report him on pinkbike for sure.

I have quite often paid by gift as I tend to think the best of people. I know,I know....

You only have to deal with one rotten apple though and it really throws your moral compass off.

As a rule though I have bought tonnes of second hand stuff from eBay and forums and it's always been ok. Lucky I guess.

Anyway OP, thanks for the heads up and sorry to hear of your bad experience. 🙁

LoL at his tumblr account!!! 😯

I'd report him to pink bike for certain.

His photo meta data has him here

^^^ how did you do that?! Ha ha that's awesome

classy neighbourhood.

Widnes... Nice... typical Woolyback.

You've found where he lives!?! Oh I want to see how this ends!! 😆

You're welcome

Looks like he's got his next couple of bikes lined up outside ready to sell.

I quite like his bike though 🙂

That must be him, all guilty people have blurry faces.

His new 'fence' looks a lot better

^ oops.

I work less than 5 minutes walk from that address if you wanted to save money on a stamps 😈

oooh - suddenly time to break out the hob-nobs

Report him to the police for fraud. You have account details, and the bank will have contact details so they should have no problem tracking him down. At the very least the bank can freeze the account even if the contact info is false.

I do wonder sometimes if these people realise how small and close knit the world is these days and the fact that on a forum like this, there's likely to be someone pretty nearby prepared to go round for a chat.

Sadly the police may not do anything. But a crime is a crime, so it should get chased up.

Oooh look . . here's his [url= https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3664017,-2.7420202,3a,37.5y,288.11h,74.15t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKVysjljUywJubIjuAvdNOg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 ]fuzzy-faced accomplice[/url], caught in the act 😯

Lol at the kid in blue t-shirt 'scratching' his parts

I told him I'd spread his name as someone to avoid and he said I can do what I want so I am!!
I'm not going to the police they are useless plus he'd only say he sent it and it got lost in the post.
Had I seen a pic of him first I would of avoided the deal already had someone contact me who bought something off him in person just to find it didn't work when he got home!

I would still tell the police - as a crime it needs to be recorded even if they don't do anything.

Also it may get considered when he does get nicked later in life.

Why is the street litter isolated to #11 (green door)!

😆 Damn I've been rumbled!

If you've not reported it to pinkbike, do! It's been a while but i was involved in a couple of fraud cases with them a couple fo years back and they were quick with the banhammer. Doesn't help you of course.

All his ads have been removed now.

I had similar a few years back over some speakers. Tracked the guy down using the various internet trails he'd left (and a phone call to a chip shop on his road...) and gave the details to the police. They nicked him, he'd done it to others, and I got my money back £5 per week as part of the sentence.
So worth reporting to them at least.

Definetly can see his neighbours house(No.9) in the background of that picture.

He appears to be back online now over at Pinkbike.

If you don't report it to the police then they definitely won't do anything about it.

We had a guy caught in our force area, he did a couple of fraudulent sales as he was in debt and panicking, realised no one was doing anything about it so carried on. Think he ended up pleading guilty to something like 600 offences...

What's the betting that he's going back over his internet history attempting to delete everything that links him to the address and this thread?

It's a shame, he could have avoided all this by contacting the OP and attempting to make good. All for £40! Clearly, we're not dealing with a mastermind here.

Ah - so his is the one with the rubbish outside? Another dissatisfied customer taking revenge maybe 🙂

How odd, all of the bikes and frames he's sold have been either S/M/L. Thats some growth spurt in only 1 year http://www.pinkbike.com/u/Callumj10/buysell/sold/

Someone should take screenshots before the evidence is gone....

"Pinkbike could not find this page"

This page?
http://m.pinkbike.com/u/Callumj10/buysell/
I haven't cleared my cookies so it still loads..,

Someone should take a pic of his house with today's paper, then a message saying 'refund tonight or I'm knocking on the door'

All that stuff in one year! How would you get a the police interested in checking some of those quite distinctive bikes against their stolen propery databases? Looks like they could solve a lot of outstanding crimes, (with apologies to CallumJ10 if he's a legit trader).

There is a Thieves Beware sign on the lamp post .... or is it Thieves Behere !!!

slightly of topic, but

Pinkbike account stinks of stolen bikes though, that many bikes forsale at the same time. Only thing that indicates real bikes is that most of them are photographs in the same garden

always concerns me a bit, as I've got a large pile of bikes I'm no longer in love with that I really should be selling and don't want to get mistaken for a thief - even if it is almost all 26er stuff...

Doesn't appear to be a criminal mastermind; more like an intellectual midget.

Pretty sure he's back guys. Seen mavic rims on hope huns in gumtree and selling other bits for no money. Have sent him a few texts asking for postcode, asked to go round and he says he gave me the wring postcode. Charlie from Cheshire haha if anyone wants his mob no. Or postcode drop a pm.

Front wheel missing 2 spokes eh? Would that be the two spokes that he cut to get the wheel out of the or D-lock?

Fishy as all hell.

I'm not going to the police they are useless plus he'd only say he sent it and it got lost in the post.

And look he's still stealing from others. Well done

If this little tard scammed me I'd quite happily give ?him a visit

The Whyte he's selling for £100 😯
Hmm, might be stolen?
