I recently had someone try to scam me in a similar fashion with the fake SMS and PDF proof of payment, photo of their ID and a driver who came to collect the item. Fortunately, I didn't let go of the item, but many others have not been so lucky. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation where you've received a fake SMS payment notification via a long number (typically 16 digits), you can look can find out which SMS platform they used by entering the number on codes.waspa.org.za (make sure the number is formatted properly - no spaces, no leading +). Then, depending on how you feel you can either report it to the company, or lay a complaint with WASPA directly. Unfortunately my WASPA complaint didn't really go anywhere, but hopefully if enough people report these kinds of messages they'll take it more seriously.

I have one pair of no-name Look pedals, one pair of flat Mongoose pedals and two rear lights for collection in Durbanville. I don't have the mounts for the lights, but you can still attach them to the pocket of a cycling jersey. You'll need two AA batteries for each light.

I'm not trying to argue that we should randomly go and assume people are guilty left and right. The argument I'm trying to make is that when you fail to stop (and potentially to save somebody's life by calling an ambulance) you forgo your right to innocent until proven guilty.

After reading about numerous hit-and-runs over the last couple of weeks where the drivers, as usual, failed to stop at the scene of the accident the following question came to mind: Should the courts assume a driver was driving under the influence when they fail to stop at the scene of the accident? I would like to know my fellow hubbers think about this. Is this something we as a cycling community can lobby for? What would the legal ramifications of something like this be?
