Indonesian Internet Bike Scam at Alibaba.Com

I will accept Western Union. Never used them to pay. How much are the fees, anyway?
 
Never Indonesia.......don't care what it is or how much;it's not worth the hassle.
Sorry for your losses guys.
 
Islam rewards the man who is as shrewd as to fool another man.
Not to offend anyone, it is a fact.
yep, they out to break ya at the wallet, no mercy.

sorry bout that irish, never trusted a web site named like ali baba, and the 400 thieves !
 
The guy from Malaysia paid me fair and square. Cool guy.

The only problem? Western Union gave me cash and I wanted a check! Because it is company money and I need to deposit it anyway, I just don't like having cash. I said "I would have taken the check no issues". She said "everyone just wants cash here...." (hmmm....interesting) Doesn't really matter, but I thought it was quite ironic on several levels.

was the person a gold member on alibaba? i never even look at anyones profile on alibaba unless there a gold member which means alibaba has approved em. Also if there not a gold member alibaba pretty much dont help u out at all if they hav scammed u as they havent approved it and anyone can make an account. Just some things to look out for wen shopping again. For me its good as my dad has a friend in Indonesia who can go to the addresses of places there and check the company out b4 i buy from them. Sorry for the loss dude and hope u get the money back.
 
I HATE scammers!!! I had some scammers a few years ago trying to scam my wife for money, and I sent them a picture of the web-famous GOATSE picture!

hehehehe
 
Be carefull
There are all kinds of scams from overseas like
paying with a hacked PayPal account which will
later be reversed by PP

I insist on talking on the phone with all buyers using
PayPal or credit cards

I've been busy getting revenge which is why I've not been on the forum so much lately. I've had 25 sites deactivated on Alibaba and a couple elsewhere but no sooner are they out one door than they appear again as another. It is now my estimate that all Indonesian bike sites are scams because they cannot have what they purport to have. I was offered a Whizzer air freighted to my door for USD 160.00. The air freight alone is twice that price!
I spoke to my guy on his phone but his phone went dead after he got my money. As for having friends in Indonesia to check out the address it is a long way from Jakarta to Medan. It's a very big country.
Our police are not interested and the Indonesian Internet police thing KPPU has a website that doesn't function correctly so your emails are rejected by their server. I am trying to pressurise my bank to get the money back from the Indonesian bank. Western Union is only safe for wiring money to a dearly loved relative. COD won't work and using a credit card down a phone is like sending the theif a blank cheque. They have all your details then and can duplicate a card in minutes. After 3 weeks of seething resentment I'm left with only one alternative folks. I'm bidding for an ex-USSR Army surplus small thermo-nuclear device on Ebay from a polite sounding lady in the Ukraine. If I'm successful I'll wire it up to my old HT bike and leave it outside the guys house in Sumatra and watch the scenario play out on Google Earth from the safety of my lap top at home. I'll keep you posted two weeks after the bidding closes on Ebay! I suspect some of you reckon the HT will survive the humungous explosion and subsequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and you could be right but I'll be glad to see the back of it. I need to paint a sign saying FREE BIKE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER - PLEASE TAKE IT in Indonesian and was wondering if anyone here can help me with the grammar.

Beware that scam too. They advertise it with a tritium/fusion increased yield, but tritium decays and I don't think they replenish it. Don't bid more than you would for a standard fission device.

Yeah I'm aware of that HoughMade but it's part of an army surplus job lot and is included with three Soviet nuclear submarines circa 1968 so it's hard to put an itemised bid in. I've got my mates at the Irish Space Station checking it out for me and they think they can get some fresh Tritium from a guy on Ebay who lives right next door to the Tritium quarry in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I'm hoping my old HT will become the biggest thing Sumatra has seen since Krakatoa erupted in 1883!
Medan is on the west of Sumatra so the Tsunami won't be felt in California but the sunsets in Indiana will be more spectacular for several months after the guy starts up the HT.
