Facebook is pathetic. Gumtree is already in the grave for not having a review system. Facebook is next. 

And then that other site that doesn't allow comments on their ads 👀

Is there still a min amount of forum comments until someone can post a For Sale add?

Ya no he was special. He's going to send and it will be here in 2hrs, Imagine that. If I booked a courier now to collect something in CT and deliver it in CT, it will probably still take more than 2hrs LOL. Oh, and the courier guys were just going to give my mate his 10k back if he wasn't happy with the bike, So who would have "paid" then and paid to get it back to "Durban" LOL

I don't believe so, But this guy was quite clearly a scammer. I've purchased stuff before from guys with minimal to no forum activities, It's how they conduct themselves that makes all the difference.

Forum posts are not a requirement for posting in the Classifieds. Just take extra care and do your homework. Someone with zero forum posts can have 100 positive 5stars.

Contacted by a Whatsapp called "Blue Sky" with German phone number 

Similar story with the courier.  Wanted to do the deal via Paypal because he is overseas.

Then "paid" an extra R2,500 for courier charges and asked me to pay it on his behalf into a bitcoin account as the courier only accepts bitcoin payments!

The email I got was from  Paypal and looked legit but had a gmail address.

I told him I don't do bitcoin and said goodbye.

Watch out for this scam.

"Pierre Vlok" tried again with me. he looks at wanted ads and says his mate referred me to him. He also Sends you his ID number to make you feel better, but the oke is a scammer.. +27 64 665 5711. watch out for him. Luckily I googled and checked this forum first before dealing with him.

The sad thing is despite how ridiculous this sounds, people still fall for it.

Was approached by a clown pushing for PUDO payments via a FB ad.
The minute you tell them "sure, I accept any payment, but no goods will be released till money is in and transferrable", they disappear......
