Ag dudes its so easy to get scammed these days.... As Grebel said below I also treat every deal with scepticism and always thought NOOIT this wont happen to me but these ******* are clever I tell you... December I had some spare cash and decided to buy myself a nice camera again... Long story short... Got a nice deal and the negotiations started... Made an arrangement to pay the guy R2000 and then on receiving the camera with pay the balance of R1200 (he was situated near Beaufort West and would sent via Speed Services once I send him the proof of payment). Everything checked out, phone number, address the whole shebang... Totally legit.. Well guess what soon as he got proof of payment he disappeared... Case was opened at the SAPS and to my surprise the inspector assigned to the case calls me the next day telling me there isn't really much they can do about it.... That after I gave them all the correspondence between myself en this twat, phone numbers as well as the Capitec banking details of this perpetrator..... SO the moral of the story is be very careful and as I do of late I only deal face to face and in cash unless I personally know the seller or have dealt with him before.
