scotty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Yikes, tough audience, Naas has just issued a precautionary. No need for a lynch mob or calls for the classifieds to be shutdown quite yet. Danger Dassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niner Posted August 15, 2012 Share If someone has been arrested then it can be public knowledge so NO reason to withhold the persons name.  Naas why not warn gunners about Gumtree also?  You accuse TheV off buying something that might be stolen? How sure are you that EVERYTING you have bought in life is legit. Not just cycling stuff but anything from wood for the braai to speaker system? As people trading on the hub we can only do our best to not buy something that obviously looks to good to be true.  Your post has NO value to the hub whatsoever.

He might as well have said that there are scanners on the Internet. Akon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Precaution against who? He might as well have said that there are scanners on the Internet.So you would rather he have remained quiet, even seeing that the Hubber is continuing to post items for sale. It's not his duty to report it, he just issued a cautionary notice so others can be made aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Bike Posted August 15, 2012 Share Naas has done what he can to warn us for now...what happens if he spits the name out and it turns out to be a "mistake"...he has then effectively killed the guys business and the probability for a large court case is huge...

Tumbleweed Posted August 15, 2012 Share The public seems helluva interested! That I see. Public interest is usually applied when it comes to prominent persons, but I get what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted August 15, 2012 Share Let's not forget who the real bad guy is and it can't be Naas. We might disagree with the way he is handling the situation but all he is doing is making us aware that there is a potential problem and that we should be cautious when trading. Heck even the stock exchange does this when the get companies to issue a cautionary statement when they are busy with negotiations that could affect their share price. So let's not kill the messenger. Naas, it might be worthwhile to drop Admin a note on the details so that they can suspend the relevant account/(s) until the issue is resolved and then Admin can just inform us that they have done so and we can trade with relative confidence.

ChUkKy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Since Naas wont name the tjop, if you do plan on buying from a CT based hubber, ask Naas if its ok first to buy from that person. Ask Naas, Ask Naas, Ask Naas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
