DM sent.

Pending answer to DM, I will buy these.

(Edit: yeah, I am absolutely interested and just confirming via DM that I am not missing something obvious with these bars. This appears like an insanely great deal.)

Payment sent

Update. Paid last Saturday. Poster confirmed money was in his account and said he would ship Monday. Since then, radio silence. Reached out twice and the poster is not responding.

He is a longtime member, so hopefully this shipped Monday and he has just been busy.

I am increasingly concerned by the lack of communication.

I’d browsed this post and it didn’t jump out at me as suspicious. But now reading it more closely, it’s packed with red flags, the price & perfect nature of the product being the top but not only ones. I hope I’m wrong. Sorry this is happening to you.

Hopefully the admins can do something about accounts are being stolen. MFA?

I don't know what MFA means?

And that is going to suck if this guy's account was stolen and I got scammed.

I have the name he gave me and email address tied to his Zelle account. Dan's rules of the forum says that buyers and sellers agree that they are no longer anonomous when buying or selling.

Not sure what to do here. I may have just lost $350. This sucks.

Sorry, using an acronym wasn’t helpful here. Multi-factor authentication, to make it so you can’t get into someone’s account just with the password.

I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong. I only have what I’ve gathered from reading his posts over the years, but cyclenutnz is a designer who does work for Profile Design, he’s responsible for the Aeria ultimate stem and hydration system design, some some of their stems, at a minimum. Probably more of their products. As such he’s in a very specific role and presumably lots of people in the industry know who he is IRL. He 1000% wouldn’t scam anyone here.

I’ve been digging into PD bars and that hydration system so I’ve read a lot of his stuff over the past few weeks. And this just doesn’t feel like his writing. Again, sorry, it’s an awful feeling to be at the receiving end of this stuff.

Can someone send me his real contact info if you have it? It is seeming more and more like someone got into his account.

I sent Dan a message to see if the contact info is available. If this cyclenutnz's account was compromised, he will certainly want to know about it.

Also sent Dan the name and email that cyclenutnz gave me via DM for the Zelle. My guess is that Dan will confirm the name/email I was given is not the real cyclenutnz.

Research complete.

This was a scam. I was scammed for $350.

It appears cyclenutnz's account was hacked because the name and email I was given in DM to buy these bars via Zelle is not the name or affiliation of the real cyclenutnz.

Cyclenutnz hasn't ever sold anything in the classifieds, but in case something else shows up through his account for sale, take extreme care to verify that it is actually him and not a scammer.
