So this was on a FB MTB page... Admittedly a while back now. I can't believe I'm the only one who sees this as suspicious - there were a few guys who did start questioning but initially loads were happy to buy the tires. The gent in question did answer our queries and he seems legit enough but I'm not sure about the source - even tho he said he gets checked by the cops often....

I advertised my bicycle on Facebook Gauteng Marketplace, received a call and bank deposit proof of payment - which was fraudulent as the money was never deposited into my account. A driver was sent to collect the bicycle - I took a photo of the registration - FS 84 XB GP. I was phoned by the driver and the owner of the vehicle (so they claimed) with jpeg files and was told that they will bring the bicycle back if I pay the delivery fee - they claimed have kept the bicycle because the person who requested the delivery never paid them. I informed them that I will only pay the delivery fee if they bring back the bicycle with an invoice. They then claimed they got an affidavit to pawn the bicycle. Needless to say this was an elaborate scam. Person by the name of Isaac Tigelo used various telephone numbers: 078 999 4538, 078 746-8219, 060 570-7094, 078 872-3400. I suspect "Isaac's" real name is Ntandazo Silekwa - I received a message via Messenger saying he wants to buy the bike for his son and this profile was deleted later. Other telephone numbers of the "drivers" goes by the names of James (063 321 - 2970) and his "boss" Peter (078 829-1387) and 078 166-6277. Please be careful and do not make the same mistakes I did. The only proof I have is the photo of the licence plate I took when the "driver" collected the bicycle.

Hi guys, Please watch out for a scammer pretending to be Dirk Du Preez. He is selling numerous things including Oakley helmets, Garmins etc. 071 092 6899 - is the number he’s Whatsapping from. He insists on Ewallet. He takes calls and sends voice notes and sends a photo of his ID card. He also comes up on Truecaller. He is very smooth and does research into his items and topics he sells online.

This company claims to be in the North West, taking fraudulent online orders. If its too good to be true, it is. www.explicittradings.com Be careful

I've been so furious regarding a second hand on-line purchase I was trying to make and finding out it was a fraud, that I've been trolling as best I can between my day job to find some more. Please don't post unless you are 100% sure. and please give reason for why you think it's a FAKE AD, to warn off others. The 4 I've found to follow.....

A warning to all those looking for a new Cannondale. Although I was very keen for this one http://johannesburg....ll-Suspens.html, I just didn't trust him at all. Especially considering he wanted to courier it to me only after I paid him the first half. When I suggested I fly down to Swellendam to view the bike, he said he had another interested buyer who was currently trying to do an EFT. He said if I did mine first it would be mine :-) what ever! I told him good luck! To think I almost lost R19 000 when my wife tried to buy it as a surprise for me!
