I advertised my bike on gumtree..thehub..cape town cycling facebook... On all 3 I had same kind of spam replies... Adam Richardson. Richardsonadam2010@gmail.com 061 011 7823 First contact me through whatsapp..wanting my email addr. Then emailed me. Same details..same story..etc used in scamming others. Also got called...by another spammer...he wants bike for his wife..surprise..she doing a race the next day..will collect..or meet one snother halfway..will give deposit slip...ask my bank..he at another bank...knowing 3 days needed for money to come through..he will provide ID etc..slip..as proof.. when I said I wait for payment to be through..put phone down in my ear. The spam.. " I'm really interested in buying this as a surprise for my cousin but only if you can assure me it's in a good condition. I am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore. I really want this to be a surprise for my cousin so I won't let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him, I am sure he will be more than happy with it. It will be secured paying via PayFast as I'm on a rig offshore. So let me know if you have an account with Payfast so I can make the payment. Note well: Pick up agent will come for the pick up as soon as I have made the payment."
