I wanted to inform you all that I was contacted by a marketer that was interested in buying my bicycle. It was a scam, the name of the buyer was Harold Donald supposedly from Nigeria Africa, the "Shipping Company" which was supposedly going to come and pick up the bike in person has the following address:
Saheed Tunde Salau
35 dopemu road
Lagos , Nigeria
23401.
The company (who doesn't have a website) who had written out the check is:
GlennX, Inc.
858 Foothill Blvd,
La Canada, CA
91011
The shipping company that sent the check via UPS was located in Florida:
Marcia Tebeau
Electronics 'R US
1492 Tangerine CT.
Winter Park FL
32792
After an intensive search they did end up having a webpage but I was not able to find it through means of searching online istead I had to use the small note included in the package and found a reference: electronicsrus.weblodge.net
I suspect that it was Marcia that signed the check because although it is almost illegible, the first letter of the names is M.... T... I felt the need to inform you all in case they try to contact You. Three days after being contacted by Harold I had recieved another e-mail with an errily similiar set of instructions for how they could buy my bike with the e-mail address: t_campbell1980@yahoo.com the author of the e-mail reffered to himself as "Tom"
So remember not to do business with any of these persons. If you are contacted by someone that is "really excited" about buying your item and supposedly has an address in Africa (the check for the $375 bike was $2,450 to cover shipping it 6,000 miles) do not procede with the transaction they so conveniently lay out for you.
