Tried to scam the shop into taking a pinarello dogma on a test ride without CC and ID... Track sprinter Kelyn Akuna said, no problem, I'll come ride with you on my bike. Testrider tried to ride towards a cubevan with an open door and accomplice waiting. Those chumps tried the wrong dude, Kelyn has PIPES, throws hands and the thieves flee. Legendary.

I can tell you one thing to spot if it's legit or not the image of the chip on the CC is wrong. I've also never seen any digital image of a credit card showing the chip. I fucking hate people like this.

you should have spotted the fake American express font first of all on the card as that was ridiculous and should have known it was a scam in progress and you still let it go through. Better study your card brands as this was amateur hour and most bike shops i know wouldn't have done that transaction with a client with that many red flags.

I work in a bike shop in Australia and we had a similar thing happen to us. Now, if someone wants to pay over the phone we only take a 10% deposit over the phone so that they can reserve the bike. They then either pay the rest when they pick the bike up or do a direct transfer into our account. This means they can still reserve the bike over the phone and we can get it ready but at least if they dispute the charge to get the money back we are only losing 10%. Telling them they’ll have to pay the rest in store is also usually enough to scare off the scammers. Sorry to hear this happened to you

We had a similarly stolen bike in 2022 from our shop. Phoned-in CC etc. for an e-bike for a Christmas present. Was a sad story etc. We told the guy on the phone we'd need to see a DL when the bike was picked up. When he arrived to get the bike, we checked out the DL, which turned out to be a total fake of course (It was a really good fake!). NOW, what we did was to take a picture of the guy holding the DL up to his face without giving him a chance to say no, and he obliged. We naively assumed nobody would be stupid enough to proceed after that. Two months later, we got the chargeback, called the police and shared the details. The police had this guy's face in their database and put out a warrant for his arrest. It seems we were just one of at least four shops to get scammed by this guy, but none of the others thought to take his picture. It took about a year to catch the guy. It's before the court and we are still waiting for the next steps at this time. We'd like to at least get the money we lost on this reimbursed, but these things take a lot of time and we aren't holding our collective breath. We are in Canada, and our legal system is agonizingly slow. We've stepped up our processing procedures. Nobody can take anything out of the shop without our CC processing unit running the card, and will only take partial deposits on the phone, and prefer payments on our webstore. You learn by making mistakes.

I worked in retail years ago. Had multiple goose down jackets stolen. Each one had 4 tracking alert tags that should go off at either door. We figured after there was a couple with a pram with hood down. Must have been lined with alfoil multiple sheets or similar to block the signal. No one ever saw the baby or inside the pram.

This is so common in all segments of retail. Perhaps it is time to go with a 10% discount for cash program along with requiring all card purchases to be swiped or read by the chip reader. Gotta protect ourselves and sometimes that causes a little grief however, that is called cheap insurance. You certainly have a good mindset, moving forward. Best wishes for you and your shop.

I bought a bike today ordered from Italy and their payment system wouldn't accept my Amex (despite their site mentioning that it's accepted) I offered to call an give my card details over the phone but he didn't sound too keen.

when Giant launched their direct to consumer platform during Covid we were vary weary about handing off bikes to people we didn't transact with directly. Sure enough, one of the sketchiest people came to pick up a high end road bike, which did not match up with who I expected based on the backroads country address that was attached to the purchase summary. Sure enough they didn't produce anything to validate the purchase and months later Giant told us they got in touch with the info on file and "what bike" was their answer. Also, our manager literally ran a sting (with police) operation on a FB marketplace purchase one time shortly after someone managed to just walk away with a bike. Sadly the person who was selling the bike had purchased it off of someone who refused to take anything other than cash and had some weird reasons why e-transfer wasn't possible.

Very disappointing to see and hear this. If people are determined to defraud you they will succeed. Thankfully, the majority of people are honest and that’s our only protection. Sadly, the police have enough on their plate that they’re not going to track this crime down and if the crim was to get caught chances are it’d take forever before he ends up in court and even then he’d only get a tap on the wrist. It’s a sad indictment on our politicians charged with looking after out interests.

How about this idea, include an airtag inside a bike purchase that seems sketchy and when payment goes through call customer and offer free tune up when they return your “accidentally misplaced” airtag and if it doesn’t, you know where the bike is ;)

Please help me understand - I'm from Europe. Did you let the bike leave your shop without actually getting paid for it? I understand credit card disputes happen, but in this case, the card wasn't even charged? And what difference does it make if you swipe/insert/touch vs you enter the numbers manually? Is this a US thing? Is this an Amex thing?

@GCPerformance18 nice one, there's some great stats floating around on how fraud is up. Here in Canada (unless you live in Quebec) the government is so far behind the curve that you can not even freeze your credit report if they steal your details as part of a bike fraud. PayPal is also hopeless if things go wrong. Buyers don't believe for a second that you are protected by them. In my experience they are useless when you have a fast moving fraudster at work even under goods and services.

You m8ght f8nd the bike on aliexpress or other overseas bike shop. Any stolen product should be notified to the port of entry too imo. Thwts how stolen goods travel out of the country and also coming in.

Not the young guys fault at all. I'm sure as the business owner you push him to make sales and he's simply done that, some sales are hard, some are easy. The only person who had physical contact with the people was yourself and you still handed over the bike. So when you say "take it as a teachable moment" I hope you are saying that to yourself rather than making the kid think it was his bad.
