Scammer List

Scammer named Kyle from Plett. He offered to sell me a bike rack. When I told him I wasn’t going to make payment before and wouldn’t fall for his scam he threatened to send someone to my house and harm my family and kids! Voice messages were sent that insight violence and have reported him to SAPs. Beware

Wanted ads are a target for this guy. It's easy to pretend to have the product and do your research.

 

We'll take a look into it.

We'll take a look into it.

They have been targeting wanted ads at virtually every forum and Facebook marketplace classifieds group I'm on.

 

Lots of people have been hit some for some pretty significant amounts. I've been tried about 4 or 5 times over the last year, all responding to a wanted ad I'd posted.

So I know this isn't bikehub related but I am sure someone will fall for this. It popped up in my gmail spam folder.

Funny thing is, due to my employer and the circumstances, I am owed money from the government, Only problem is it isn't anywhere near that amount.

Are you referring to the 404 disc set advertised during the day yesterday @ R10k.?

I noticed the ad but it was gone before I could have a look at the detail.

Suspected that it may have been removed.

This was the response:

 

Yes, I am really interested in buying this as a surprise for my cousin, only if you can assure me that everything is in order. I am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore, I want this to be a surprise for my cousin, so I won't let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him. It will be a secure payment via Skrill as I'm on a rig offshore. So, let me know if you have an account with Skrill so I can arrange for the payment asap. Please note, a pickup agent will be coming for the pickup once I have made the payment.

Why can't the scammers find jobs at other places? Why do all of them work on oil rigs? Is there no vacancies in the SA government?
