Follow up -
I just reread the posts in this thread - I'm still confused (and don't
really want to know all the details)but just to be clear.
First
- There was an old post on FB (unrelated to this group at all)
- It's been there a while.
- It seems scammy.
Also
- Someone DM'd a group
ADMIN HAT ON ///
Ok. I want to be very, very clear about this.
I've definitely removed and suspended individuals from this group when they
behaved inappropriately or they were clearly scams.
But there is really no way for me - or any other member of this group - to
police some other group on
I feel for those of you who have been scammed. Hopefully, karma plays out
for them, and perhaps you'll have a 'win' in the near future that makes up
for it.
I'm almost to the point of quoting any online used buy/sell activity.
I've bought/sold bike stuff, and a few other categories of items,
@Roberta and Eric -
Let me clarify how I was scammed. I posted here last July wanting to buy
Blue Lug's
*REW10 WORKS* hex brass valve caps here in the states to save myself some
monies in overseas shipping costs.
Anita Batya saw my post and claimed that she had a pair. Anita told me that

I also got looped in with a scammer through the FB group, probably the same
guy. (for me it was a wheelset)
Should we consider asking the admin of this google group to turn the group
private? I think the i-bob list did this recently and while it won't solve
all problems, it might help.

To add, *Blue Lug is super legit*, I've placed two orders with them this
month and both were super smooth. Great prices, great parts availability
that I couldn't find anywhere else, and fast shipping.

The "Jeff" in question reached out to me in response to a WTB post. I asked
what his "Friend" was selling and he said a 60cm Homer, which I thought was
strange considering my post specifically said 54/55/56cm.
A quick check to see that he'd never posted in the forum and I assumed it
was
Good morning all, I did talk to this seller and ended up buying a different
Homer frame from someone else. *It's most definitely not a 54.5cm frame*. I
got the sense that their "client" is not local to them and they wouldn't be
able to confirm any measurements, etc.
If they're now saying
Kim: I don't see how the administrator of this forum has any bearing on
someone's Facebook post. The scam is potentially occurring via Facebook,
not our forum. You reposted the FB listing here with a link.
Regarding the Blue Lug purchase, how on earth were you "scammed" by Blue
Lug? They are
I’m glad this has been brought up to keep others from getting scammed.
If there are any others that need to be brought to the group’s attention,
please speak up. I feel it’s our responsibility and duty to protect the
group. Don’t be timid. See something, say something.

I concur. I sent this scammer Leah's way unknowingly. Stay away from this
person. In this case his "cousin" just bought a Homer and so was selling
his Roadini. He must troll this group for want to buy posts and pounces.
Karma is a concept of action, work, or deed, and its effect or
Bad experience with Jeff and the “seller,” he directed me to with a Homer as well!I posted that I want to buy a Mustard frameset. Jeff directed me to his friend, and it went very badly from there. Fortunately, I sent no payment.I also reported this to Admin. Sent from my iPhoneOn May 3, 2024,
That Jeff McCathern guy tried to sell me a Roadini. He’s a scammer. I
wasn’t brave enough to say so publicly, but I will now.

Kim, the link takes us directly to a blue lug page. How did you get
scammed?
BTW, I’ve gotten scammed too — with eBay. I will never not buy directly
from the seller.

My company is super cautious about Internet security, having us take lots
of security courses. One of the biggest email and internet securities red
flags is money or action in an urgent timeframe. This sounds scamming to me.
By the way, I have a 54.5 homer and the picture is certainly not of a
I think if somebody has a problem about you being cautious, they are not
somebody you should do business with.

I am sorry to hear and see you go through this ordeal. I wish it was not so.
The administrator for this RBWOB group is Jim - cyclofi...@gmail.com
Your message may take a day or two for him to respond. I hope he can help
you.
My regards,

I got scammed too last year over
The more I think about this the more fired up I get. I've had so many
pleasant exchanges here, both transactional and non-transactional, that I
feel protective of this group. If no scam is happening, no one will be
bummed on me sharing out a phone number and email.
