Joebike Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 So this bike was advertised this morning for R35000,and I see the add was taken off!? Was the bike sold, or did the Nigerians make a run for it?
SwissVan Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 That does not look like a typical SA stoep, house wall or windows....
Matt Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 The ad was flagged by a user as a suspected scam - and rightly so. The price made it obvious and a quick Google search confirmed the suspicions. The phone number was linked to various classified ads on other local sites. All for top breed puppies (a common scam) and using at least 4 different contact names.
Joebike Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 So now the hub has been discovered!Ai shucks!
Chro Mo Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Great job, guys! Gues he wasn't leaving the country after all.
Matchstix Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Somehow I wish a bunch of hubbers can track a person like this, meet him and explain "politely" that it's not nice to scam hubbers, as it may be hazardous to your health

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Sorry to say but this is just another example of why there needs to be stricter control over who can use the classifieds and how.It has been discussed to death but a minimum post count would prevent this sort of occurance.When will something be done about this??Well done the members for reporting this but at R35K it's not a ridiculously improbable price for an uninformed buyer.
sakkiebomskok Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Sorry to say but this is just another example of why there needs to be stricter control over who can use the classifieds and how.It has been discussed to death but a minimum post count would prevent this sort of occurance.When will something be done about this??Well done the members for reporting this but at R35K it's not a ridiculously improbable price for an uninformed buyer.Been saying that for ages. Everyone on the hub now with more than 50 posts and if you are "approved" by someone who has this "rating" or has a sellers rating. I mean, most guys hear of the hub through a friend or at least knows someone on the trail who can "endorse them". Its a fairly easy idea. If these Scammers get into the classifieds it will ruin the community
Alouette3 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Even a 5 post minimum before posting would work. 50 post requirement would kill the classifieds, most people don't have 50 posts, took me a while.
DJR Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Good on y'all for jumping on it! We don't need that stuff here!
Bernard Horn Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Please give us more information.Apparently fraudulent ticketshttp://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/garage-killing-accused-gets-bail-1.1811079
