Has anybody seen a sms like this:

 

Nedbank payment

Notification: PILLY SIVALINGUM has paid R8,500.00 into

ABSA acc No XXXXXXXXXX on the 12/10/2014@19:28

Ref:20141012/Nedbank27718969940

 

So I have my bike up for sale....  I get a call from some oke Sunday night at about 7 pm. Will take the bike, no question about the bike " consider it sold he says"

 

He then asked me if I can deliver the bike and I said no sorry he has to come and pick it up, not a problem he will send his driver to come pick up the bike..... 9:00pm Sunday night.. really.

 

Gave him my account number and as seen above received the sms, got a phone call from him stating that the money has been paid and he wants my adders for the pick up.

 

 

Im still waiting for my money and hes still waiting for the bike. 

 

Ek is nie so dom nie

no cash, no bike

 

cash = money in bank

sms does not = cash

 

sounds fishyfish

I realise comments could get nasty...but this is a classic case of where OLX needs comments

 

yeah, there is a round about way of reporting an add, not great IMHO 

 

at this years ecommerce conference OLX reconed they were checking adds using reverse image searches, and to their credit the images in these adds don't appear on a google reverse image search

Sometimes they even get the money to show in your account by using a cheque and then later on it doesn't clear, so you are left without the money.

 

Did someone report the olx ads?

Happened to me. I advertised a bending machine. Got an e mail from a potential buyer. Sent pics the works. He accepted and asked me for bank details. Received a confirmation sms for transfer. Checked the next morning, money was reflecting in my account. He asked me to courier but I decided to drive through as I had some business to do in JHB. Machine was loaded and I was ready to leave Bloem. Checked bank account money was still there. Decided to click on the actual transaction on my bank statement. It then displays the deposit slip . This displayed a deposit slip and a cheque for a nursery school in JHB. I contacted the school and they confirmed that the cheque book had been stolen a week before. The scamster had a crooked teller at Nedbank who would show the cheque deposit as a transfer and make the funds immediately available. Nearly lost R23k there.

Vettie - you should have driven the machine up there and bent him with it

Have been told that the odds of finding them is next to nothing.

 

Well, you could wait for the "driver" to pitch up to collect...

(1) send him to Julius Malema's address...

(2) invite some buddies over for "moer-a-scammer" braai party...with beers on the house afterwards!!

 

I'll go for option#2...
