Why do these people keep putting the heads on backwards?
worse than spelling Montesa with two ss's! >:(

Well spotted Cappra! Why have they done that?
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it an attempt to get better cooling (how?)
or have they made an honest mistake during re-assembly?

You guys don't know anything.....it's to do with aerodynamics + aids the performance of the flux capacitor - 21.1 jigawatts me thinks

because it will go on either way, it's a 50/50 chance if they don't look the way the fins go when it gets pulled apart

Flux capacitors are old school now.

Not to change the subject, but have any of you heard of a Collin Oakley from Nunawading, Vic.
He wants to buy a large amount of items, use a credit card and have his "agent" pick up the stock
here in Arizona. I just have a bad feeling about this....
-
i have not heard of colin but nunawading is just 20min away from me.
if you have a bad feeling then go with you gut i reckon,
OR
wait till the funds are confirmed in your account and then proceed.
-
wait till the funds clear before you release the parts , it just up the road what the address and number i ring and see if it real

address:21/49 Norcal Road Nunawading, Victoria Australia 3131
Phone (+61 ) 9873 7677 Fax (+61 ) 9873 7655
Don't want to defame the guy if his is ligit, but not many order
an odd amount (7) of the VE side covers.

Hey Jared I work in Norcal Road Nunawading everyday I go down that road, I can check it out for you if you like as I am rep so I know most the guys down norcal road. That is wierd as lol
It is a business adress that is a bunch of factories,
I can do one better and go see him if you like no skin off my nose, see the setup i.e. if it is an empty warehouse or if it has proper signage and recp. ect. At my work we do heaps investagtion before giving people credit, as if they have no premises to chase for money there is no credit given.
The other things these chaps don't understand about credit cards is that even if the money hits your account and the card turn out to be stolen ect. at a later date the money may be taken out of your account.
We get people all the time ringing up wanting all sorts of stuff large qty and wierd things, telling you they are father bob and then wanting you to send them to a gohst adress(it is an adress of a property that doesn't belong to them), then card turns out stolen, the goods are gone and you are left high and dry.
Cheers
Tom

i rang the number ,its a factory i got a recorded message ,they were not open ,ring back monday

Well guy's, it's a scam. Seen this before, it's a classic. Here is the e-mail I just received.
Jared,
I'm ready to pay the bills send me an invoice via email and i will email you my Credit Card. But i just got a response from my shipping Agent that he cannot receive payment via credit or debit card from me at the moment. So i want you to help me Charge another $650.00 to a shipping agent who is going to pick up my ordered items from you and Some of Our Items Order in Canada.
The $650.00 that will be sent to the shipping agent is for the shipping of my order plus other items i ordered from different countries which will be deduct from my credit card.Also, I'm compensating you with the sum of $150.00 for the transfer fee and for your efforts.. Please note that i should have given the shipping agency my credit card for him to deduct the shipping funds but he told me that he doesn't have the facilities to charge or debit credit card,so that's why i bring my vote of confidence in you and i don't want you to betray the vote of confidence i put in you, so i want you to transfer the funds to him after you have make the charges and the money charged from my credit card is in your account,then you can now make the transfer to the agent via western union.i will have love to do this my self but there no western union here around me,So the charges you'll make on my credit card will be:
Order Fee ($1210.00)
Agent fee with shipping fare ($650.00)
Transfer Fee plus Your Compensation ($150.00)
Total:($2010.00)
Note that my credit card will be charged for the amounts above.Please do get back to me if you are in the office right now so that i can forward my credit card details to you , then you can charge full amount and transfer the agent funds to him via western union or money gramm.
await to read from you if you can assit me .
Collin
-
send him a reply to go and get forked
-
I pretty much did ;D I feel kinda violated...
-
i can understand that. bet he isn't a fair dinkum Aussie. what a scumqueen
-
Wow that is scam and half, Right in my local area, I am going to have a look at what type of business it is.
Hey Jared just to make sure tell him it is ok you will get somone to come and collect the cash from him, as you have a agent that works locally.
If he says yes maybe we can work something out to help you get the business. As it is still not 100% a scam. Cash will never bounce either.
Cheers
Tom
-
I would be very surprised if the guy was actually at that address, but if they are then be careful how you approach them 698.
I get similar e-mails fairly often...
Some one in Indonesia recently wanted to buy many of my products by credit card, without actually mentioning the products they wanted or mentioning bikes at all, they were just chasing me as a business.
Some one in China wanted to buy one of everthing once, that order would have been professional suicide
Lost count of how many Nigerian scams & their various versions have come through. I used to get them in the mail long before the internet was around.
-
Told him I had a fellow who could come by and pick up the money. No reply yet.
-
Now that I think of it, he chose three items from my latest parts page that were the most
expensive listed.
-
My only question is, Why??
it is not like it is a pocket knife or a torch, I mean unless you have got something that is easy to resell why bother. VE side covers are not really that sort after except by people like us. So why would you go through all the hassel.
As far as not being at that adress someone has to otherwise they wouldn't be able to get the parts ever.

It goes back a fair way the factories that is must be 30 factories in there, the land use to belong to crown coaches who are still next door just down sized to make some money I think.

I agree it's strange allright, but if the agent was going to pick up the stuff then the address doesn't matter
-
You can bet he's some scamming prick in some far away land. Indonesia, China, Russia, Tasmania ??? All the same shitbags !!!
I bid on and won an old BMW R69S for $10000AU - a bargain you say?
The 'seller' never replied to my emails during the auction. Strange I thought, but maybe he'd gone away or was ill. Won the auction and still no contact - now that puzzled me.
Soooo - got the 'seller's' name from the ebay information page and guess what - it was some poor old coot at Dapto Rail who hadn't had bikes in years ???
Next thing I received a friendly email requesting me to send EFT payment to a Barclay Bank in Charring Cross UK and transport would be arranged for free.
A couple of GET forkED YOU SCAMMING PRICK emails later and I felt much better and bought another Maico to help get over the 'trauma' lol !!!
Bottom line is ebay is FULL of bottom feeders and shitbags, ever a lot of the sellers are turds esp in the US.
As for that VR - how else do you reckon it could develop 300bhp - the head MUST be on back the front to crank out that sort of power LMFAO !!!
Regarding the wet look - would you sell a $9500 bike without washing it - why it was so dirty he even washed that awful black dirt off head and cases !!! WTF ???
As for the asking price? $9500 !!!???
Tell im he's dreamin !!!

that can't be ross's brain.

Now whose's being cheeky?! ;D
Yeah OK, its a hot day and I'm bored shit-less inside where its cool.
I'm stir crazy today big time.
in retrospect my posts probably only amuse myself 95% of the time
-
I with hoony 60deg Cel. in the shed and in the middle of melbourne it hit 47.2Deg Cel. so that makes us the hottest place on earth apparently. So inside air con on and not moving, I think alot of people have the same idea looking at the recent posts
Cheers
Tom
-
I'm ith you there Hoony, this type of scam where your supposed to forward extra money on to an agent is a common one. Jared you could have had a lot of fun with this one and kept yourself amused clicky liny thingy here (http://www.419eater.com/) or another clicky here (http://www.thescambaiter.com/) best is ask them where to send the money gram to download a fake one and send it about a days travel away.They'll go there to ;D
Nothing to do with the VR
-
Hey Jared,
just to let you know the fedral police here are looking into this scamer, they have all sorts of things rock up at the norcal rd adress everything right up to a full motorcycle in a create, so I think he has fooled a few people. Jared E-mail me all the info you have and I will run it around to lady who I spoke to and she will forward it to the poilce. She said it has been going on for 12mths. She said they have hundreds of parcels there adressed to Colin, All I can say is WOW that is a big scam.
Cheers
Tom
-
i dont get it , if the goods are sent there and 12months worth and he isnt collecting them whats the point ?
unless he is just doing it for a laugh, whats the point of paying with a scammed card, actually getting the goods sent but never collect them ?
maybe he is just a disgrunted and now works for aussie post and gets paid by the deliveries he makes. ;D

Eh!!! Call me dumm ;) but what's the point, where's the scam, where's the pay off? Pissing people off, inconvenience them and then not collecting the booty???? If this scam has been in place 12 months why hasn't this card been canceled?
This scam ( ???) seems stranger then fiction to me :-[.
-
I think it is a backfire of the prank when he can't get the forwards to pick up ect. Like mmm it works but doesn't go to where he chooses, It goes to the fake adress here in melbourne. Apperntly he has gotten away with thousands of dollars work of stuff, she also has phone calls after the event asking for other forms of payment after people find out the card is stolen.
Hey Jared can I tell the people your company name encase the Police want to talk to you or something??
Cheers

Thanks, that is something of an explanation but gees, it's a lot of work to earn a dishonest dollar. He gets all that gear from Jared and on sells it to who? and for how much? and take how long? And how traceable is it? Whats the chances of selling to someone in the Montesa faternity - and been dobbed in? The thief would be better off earning an honest buck.
So whats the conclusion, is he probably an Australian or a yank? or two working together?
Why hasn't the card been canceled? Multiple cards?

::) It's the overpayment scam. This is how it works
transfer the agent funds to him via western union or money gramm.
So you transfer the overpayment via Western Union to 'somehere' and that is how they make money, FFS the don't want old bike parts they just want the money.On the scambaiter site you can download fake Western Union money grams, then ask them where to send it then say you stuffed up and send it to a far away (but not to far) office when they get there THEY find out it's a fake. The person will either be in Nigeria or Eastern Europe. Teh operation is 'franchised' with underlings doing the work and 'mugu's' who run the show.
-
I agree, I think I would look at armed hold up first lol, Or even just burging a house as a LCD tv would be easier to shift for more than a VF side cover.
Just to let you know Jared it turned out to be one of my good customers and they have a file full of invoices requesting payment and a whole list of people who have rung looking for this Colin. They even had his e-mail adress ect.
She showed me pipes and shampoo ect. All out the back on the racking of stuff that they have recived but they are not going to ship back as they want to know who is going to foot the cost. So it is a big scam.

Eh!!! What overpayment?!!!! transfer via western Union - you have got to be kidding!!!! Too convoluted for my liking - not the way I would do business ;). People/businesses don't actually fall for this do they? ::)
-
I don't understand either??
All it is as far as I can see is a stolen credit card scam, there has been no metion of western union in anything I have seen or heard, the people that are calling the business asking for another form of payment as the credit number has come back stolen. Aparently some people are quite pushy and upset. The worst part is it has nothing to do with this business.
Western union?? I think you are thinking of a diffrent scam. As the guy was going to pay jared with credit cars. The only thing I can see where they can make cash is when e.i If jared have of done it, the forwarding company would of got 650dollars. So if they were working togeather they could of pocketed the 650dollars.??
The only thing is that this company has hard goods beinng delivered. I don't think it is really a millon dollar operation.
Cheers

so i want you to transfer the funds to him after you have make the charges and the money charged from my credit
card is in your account,then you can now make the transfer to the agent via western union.i will have love to do this
my self but there no western union here around me...
...then you can charge full amount and transfer the agent funds to him via western union or money gramm.
Tom,
The scammer collects the money through Western Union.
Jd
-
Yes IT and then Visa/Matercard just deduct the money from your account when they realise the goods have been purchased on a stolen card. This could have been a fun 'group bait', I just would have googled up CLICK THIS (http://www.westernunion.com.au/info/agentLocator.asp?country=AU) and told him I sent the money there, and emailed him the fake WU money gram.Simple innit.When they quickly get back in touch just say you thought that would be much easier for them seeing it's just down the road...then the real fun/bullshit starts ;D
-
The next step would have been for him to give me the name of his "agent"
so I could send him the money by Western Union. The only thing Western Union
needs is a location and a name and the funds are gone!

This ones still going.
I get a few of these asking for “products’ but you just know they haven’t got a clue as to what I have.
Thought I remembered the Nunawading address as familiar.
He’s no longer Colin though, his name came through as Luda

I've read "Collins" email a couple of times and still can't figure out what he's on about.I should have finished that accounting degree.
