[Sid the Sloth]

This oke is clearly an idiot. He has tried two different names and three of my ads on the same number. What a puzzler.

This clown tried to scam me today too.

This is the number that was used: 083 216 9335

Had the same guy trying to sell me a saddle today, asked him for banking details and apparently could not logg into his bank account but he would prefer "cash send" but to a different cell number.. Then I knew this is a scammer and blocked him. Unbelievable!!

He might be an idiot but he's making money. I saw a posts on Facebook golf hub where he has successfully scammed people

True, to be honest don't always feel sorry for them when the scam is plenty obvious

The pay half now and half when receive is another flag for me.
So he does not know you at all yet willing to take a R3250 hit on a stranger..........

Someone on a motorcycle FB group was scammed out of R10k and it was SOOOO obvious. I think when you want something bad enough you tend to be more inclined to miss the flags.

Not on bikehub. I advertised my bike on Facebook.

Almost immediately a Wise Sambo with number 078 369 4648 whatsapped me.

No questions about the bike, just is it available for pickup.

when I told him cash only he seemed to get agitated and said if I want cash I must bring the bike to him.

Told him "Thanks but no thanks I'll sell to someone else" to which he replies I'm trying to scam him selling air.

So I told him simply "You want the bike you bring me cash. No cash no bike. And I dont deliver"

 

Let see if he responds, but pretty sure its a scam.

My favourite is when people reply to an add and they say my number is ..... call me!!!

Like really. I am probably loosing out on sales, but if you cant afford a call, then you cant afford what I am selling.

I sell cars for a living, same thing. I also dont bother, my thoughts are the same as yours. If you cant afford the phone call then you cant afford what I'm selling.
