IndianRoadie Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Buddy of mine in Cape Town is looking for someone to check out an item ,the wahoo kicker, in Kimberly. so i ask a friend of mine to check it out before he buys it. address is given and my buddy in Kimberly walks up and down George street in Kimberly unable to find the "handling company " where the item is apparently located. so my buddy in CT calls the seller up and says we cant find the place , suddenly the item is now sold. two days later the ad pops up again by the same person. today i find the add again on gumtree. this time in Cape town http://pretoria.olx.co.za/wahoo-kickr-for-sale-iid-826056409 http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/gardens/wahoo-kickr-for-sale/1001396953200910765073009 not saying this is definitely a scam but something is abit fishy. hope all take correct precautions.
HdB Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Run for the hills! This is definitely a scam. Similar to one I saw a few months ago. Different addresses are listed in the advert (one Pretoria, one Kimberly; the one I saw was Port Elizabeth and Cape Town). Most importantly though, the picture used is from DCRainmaker's review.

MarcBurger Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 One of the best things to do is do a google image search. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/03/fitness-trainer-review.html
