I have also become a victim of EMBIKES scam for £422. I placed an order and made the payment through MoneyGram with Royal Mail. I have filed a crime report with the Police, I have also lodged a complaint with MoneyGram who will be reporting EMBIKES and James Jowel to the Spanish Authorities. I hope these people are caught… Thanks for posting this information, I wish I had of seen this prior to the purchase…

Thanks for posting this, I was very suspicious. Western Union as the only payment method set of my scam alert. I sent email to them enquiry about order bike. Than I decided to canceled because the payment method. Western Union’s agent warned me don’t do it. Than they sent me email: Hello …,

3 days ago you indicated interest in ordering a bike on our website.
But, we did not hear from you since then.
Would you like to order at this point, or do you still have further questions?

Cheers,

Nearly had for over £1k – bells rang when our first transfer to a bank account was returned and were asked to send to another, then when that failed to make an unprotected moneygram transfer!!

It’s good you managed to get some back, although losing £1000 is really harsh :( I wonder how many other people were scammed by them!

I have managed to get £400 back only as that was the balance in the scammers bank account when it was shut down by the Spainish bank. NO BIKE, NO £1000.
BEWARE!!!

Thanks man,
I was looking into this as well and found your blog as I (and my wife) were more than suspect of this offer. I tried calling their LA office and all I got was a voicemail.

If it seems to good to be true….

Thanks again.
