You didn't know I was a bike company store operator? Neither did I. Lately a couple of people contacted me about race-bicycles. It says they are based at 185 Warehouse in Taichung and their manager is James Murray. James is a friend of mine, and I know he doesn't work at this company, and neither do I, although there is my picture above his name on their About page. I've been to 185 Warehouse many times, and never seen nor heard of this firm. I'm sure they'll correct this error about who their store manager is. I'm pretty sure I'm not managing a bike store, although that would explain my fatigue recently...
UPDATE: In case it is not clear, race-bicycles used my picture without permission, I am not connected to them.

A rather more sophisticated level of scam from the usual Indonesian hijinks. They even hijacked The Turton!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, James sure put on weight in a hurry and look how much more grey hair he's grown in the last few months!
ReplyDeleteWow, watch out IRS may come after you if you're politically incorrect. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI note that the dizzying parade of prestigious brands for which Race Cycles is the "EXCLUSIVE DEALER" includes both Giant and Shimano. Ambitious.

ReplyDeleteI got scammed. $2499.00 I feel sick, so upset and mad at myself for falling into this. Fuck them.
ReplyDeleteHi just bought a bike from them. I researched couldn't find anything to say it was a scam. I now see it is. Can anyone tell me if you got any money back? At all and if you did how did you go about it. Think I just got done for $1500. They won't reply to any of my emails.
