Be carefull while selling, there is a guy that goes by the name of Israel who will ask to buy from you he's a very polite Black man and he'll deposit the money into your bank account by cheque which will bounce, please do not meet with him or hand any information to him he is a part of a scamming syndicate,

Please be careful in all your transactions people. I received a call
from a gentleman (I'm always polite) interested in buying my Zipps. We
spoke and exchanged details. He described himself as being Israel from
the East Rand. I gave him my banking details and he said he would do an
EFT payment.

I
have just received a call from Nedbank. They say they have apprehended
someone passing a fraudulent cheque into my account. This is the second
time in a month this has happened to me and both occasions were large
amounts of money.

It seems like the only way to transact is cash in hand these days. Please be vigilant.

ONLY deal in EFT or CASH CASH...

[Pr0PheT]

I'm so glad they caught one of these knobs, I sell quite a lot of stuff and often get sms' from BEE compliant doctors, reverents, priests and other crap like that interested in my stuff, have also had some BEE approved idiot deposit a stolen cheque into my account but luckily I saw through it right away...

just be extra careful guys

Were selling our Lounge set and some guy phone my wife and told her he wanted it for his son etc, Saturday Mrs got a call from the Police they arrested the d@@s for fraud and he had her # on his phone. Then the next thing some reverend from a gmail address mails her, she asks for cash/eft he gets all sanctimonious about her being a racist and an atheist for not trusting him.

Thanks for the warning guys.  Just hope that this is not turning into a racist slamming session.  People of all races are perpetrating these crimes.

I think that all of us need to be vigilantrider12009-06-03 05:01:16

Well I'll buy your lounge suite, although you don't need the money because you have just won the Nigerian Lotto. All you need do is to give me $500 and I'll forward your winnings to you. Don't trust me? You racist pig

[Wheelsuck]

@rider1: I am stating facts, the person called my wife racist I fail to see how that makes my comment racist.

@Taps: Let me think about it...........Thanks sounds very nice and I am sorry for being a racist and i feel so guilty and just because of that I wil take up your generous offer

Don't think its an issue with race, just demographics. More blacks than whites in Africa, but then you still got a better chance of being screwed over in Oranjie by a Boer than a Nigerian.

Hey WHEELSUCK, just making a general comment about the direction this topic is heading. My comment isn't directed at you personally.  My point is that all types of people commit these crimes.

We, as Hubers, have to be careful of making generalisations. 

I'm signing off this topic.

Someone buy my TEKTRO carbon brakes please!  (I need to upgrade my 2006 Tampico)  -  Sorry Bayley
