Hello, members. I'm writing this because I feel so frustrated and angry on this Sunday morning.
I was supposed to have a direct transaction for 'Viewelta vx carbon wheelset' at 9:30 am today at Suseo Station Exit 1 with the buyer (nickname: Colaaeraldongdong). Since the buyer said they lived in Yangju and it was far, I decided to be considerate and brought the wheelset to Suseo Station.
I received confirmation until last night saying "See you tomorrow," and I even left a message at 9:17 am, 15 minutes before the appointment time, saying that I had arrived and was waiting. However, they didn't read my message even after the appointed time, and eventually disappeared without any contact.
What's even more absurd is that while I was waiting, they deleted their account and ran away.
I've met all sorts of people through used item transactions, but this is the first time I've been deceived by someone who made me travel a long distance. It's really disheartening to think that there are people like this among cyclists.
[Summary of Counterparty Information]
Nickname: Colaaeraldongdong
Main characteristics: Claimed to live in northern Gyeonggi Province (Yangju, etc.), attempted to trade bicycle parts such as wheelsets
Method: Inducing direct transactions over long distances and then deleting the account right before or after the appointment to disappear
Members, please be careful if you encounter this nickname or someone using a similar method. If possible, ask for advance payment or a reservation fee. I'm trying to think of it as just a bad day, but carrying the wheelset all the way here makes my heart heavy.
Thank you for reading this long post. Have a pleasant Sunday everyone.
