Wil6 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I recently advertised my Iphone on OLX and Gumtree. The amount of scam emails and messaged I received was unbelievable. All of them start with : Still for sale? And then they ask if you can post it to West Africa or some other country

SAGecko Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 One born every minute ! Was look for a caravan on gumtree and saw the same advert on Olx. Long story short and R1000 booking deposit later , beware of " Anton Steenkamp 0818415497" Advert no longer on these sites . How do I report this piece Sh/t ? Actually more peed off with myself ......too good to be true.....lesson ignored\Nooit Trompie. 780 odd posts on the Hub and you still fell for a scam Laat val jou kop
Alastair_S1D Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah you gottas watch out for the scams on OLX. While I wasn't scammed buying. I was actually scammed when trying to sell. I got scammed out of a Samsung 840 Evo SSD. I was selling it on OLX. And the guy was all legit and stuff. I recieved payment notification or something that at least appeared to be a payment notification. And so I handed over the drive. And then I dunno. The notification either was not genuine or he reversed the payment as I lost my 6 grand drive. On the other hand I am quite alert when buying and I have seen a lot of "too good to be true" bike ads lately. It seems people are catching on that decent bikes can actually fetch quite a bit of cash. So remain ever vigilant people!
Schnavel Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 The only way to do it these days is cash in account or item doesn't get handed over.
