Joe Low Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It's rubish this whole scamming thing.... That's why they call it that. ;-)
Pieter1 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 That's why they call it that. ;-)Hahahahaha! True.
StevieL Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Yep. Bike was sold. To an honest buyer... For cash.
BrandonF_ Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Gut feeling always true, glad you didn't occur any loss
Mike_Andrews Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 just thought I would pop in here and check and low and behold I see its a popular thing.just got a call about my bike for sale ( olx ), no questions asked, ready to do a instant transferand can I meet in 30 minutes with the bike. all they need is for me to send a sms with my bankingdetails. so I responded with an sms saying " nice try Mr Scam" and now their phones are off.told me his son rides for UJ and wants to upgrade. the numbers they used:084 518 8319071 917 7456 hope some poor sole dose not get caught out by these chops
nox1111 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 What's the point of having all phones Rica'd - and supposedly no phone can work if it is not Rica'd right? How can no-one know who these guys are? Surely the phone companies that love to sell our information to third parties, can provide the police with the ID's to match numbers of scam artists...?!

A huge group of the SA population are excluded from Rica and Fica.Many live in shacks and have no fixed address.

Received fraudulent sms and email on FNB letterhead, FNB fraud department can do nothing about it. Funny thing is the guy who called doesn't match the name of the account holder to begin with. Quite sure the 084 number is the same if I recall
Pusher Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I've had dealings with FNB fraud department in the past and they are useless-ABSA on the other hand were great.
MAVERICK 13 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hectic! A similar thing happened to me!
