Eldron Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Ahhh good to see SAPS are highly efficient and on the trail of the perps: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: crimestopgauteng@saps.org.za Technical details of permanent failure:Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain saps.org.za by securemail-mx1.synaq.com.

Cellar Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Ahhh good to see SAPS are highly efficient and on the trail of the perps: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: crimestopgauteng@saps.org.za Technical details of permanent failure:Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain saps.org.za by securemail-mx1.synaq.com. [196.35.198.158]. That looks like an overly aggressive spam filter on the pinpoint box. Although, from a non-gmail addy, I get:This is a delivery failure notification message indicating that an email you addressed to email address :-- crimestopgauteng@saps.org.za could not be delivered. The problem appears to be :-- Recipient email address is possibly incorrect Additional information follows :-- 550 rejected because recipient verify failed - user not found This condition occurred after 1 attempt(s) to deliver over a period of 0 hour(s). If you sent the email to multiple recipients, you will receive one of these messages for each one which failed delivery, otherwise they have been sent.
johannrissik Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Me thinks Joe Masapus need to investigateInspector Massapous spent a year in Kroonstad many moons ago and has no desire to rush back there... Google tells me the person who owns that number is a busy fellow, "selling" the usual fare (Smartphones, high end camera stuff and bicycles) Rest assured that either Inspector Joe or his new assistant ( Minister Fokoluthu ) will be pulling some chains shortly.

Madlight Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 33 Reitz street has an actual shop front this time if you look on Google Streetview. There is even a picture of a bicycle on the building - much more legit than the public toilet in plett.
johannrissik Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Ja, but. Although the number doesn't link immediately to Alfred Samuels (whose number, by the way, is 071 459 7145 ), don't assume that the owner of this shop is involved. It's possible that the guys running the website are simply usimng this pic to add legitimacy to their game. (Just my very own personal theory
johannrissik Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) "Imposing Wholesalers" is a Chinese shop and has been there a long time. It has a good reputation amongst the locals.Then owner's name is Kenny (unable to get a number for him as yet) The immediate response from a local was that we should warn him (Kenny). The fact that the website is at wozaonline.co.za makes me think it could be Alfred &co Edited January 23, 2014 by johannrissik
gogo@ Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 According to Giant's list of SA dealers, there is one supplier in the area and, surprise, it's not these boys...woza woza
kosmonooit Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 The site is still up - wake up www.wozaonline.co.za ! (in association with the dti, vodacom , hrdc, google)
EdGe Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 That same thing has happened in 2012 or 2013 with a BIKE BRAND in South Africa. I remember it was all over The Hub. I hope your problem is sorted out now... Best to get an Internet/IP detective on the case too, to track the IP address and send some boys around to physically shut them down!
Baron Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Definitely scam, visit the shop this morning, the very friendly Chinese owner at 33 Reitz street Kroonstad say he used to sell only cheap bike but for the last 2 years he do not even sell bicycles any more. He did not know about the website using his shop address and he will follow up on it.
Eldron Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 And *poof* the site is gone. I flagged the site and received an email from woza asking me to prove my claim. I did and within 48 hours the site was gone. Good to see that web hosters take their complaints seriously. Thanks to everyone that emailed them too - you made a small difference to the cycling community in general and a large difference to me personally. Appreciate it! johannrissik, Cellar and Headshot 3
