You probably received an email yesterday to warn you. A bit late but thank you for reporting it to help others. M L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion44 Posted September 27, 2022 Share This person calls himself “Christo van der Walt”. He is seemingly situated in Carnarvon (Northern Cape) and he sells a USWE hydration pack. He then request payment via e-Wallet and once done, he tells you he will send via Postnet. The biggest bunch of BS!! He uses the number 083 492 2675 and also make mention of a friend called Andre Joubert (063 468 6386). I also attach the ID photos he might send you to make it more “legit”. Please send him to a warm place if he contacts you, he is a piece of rubbish!! Edited September 28, 2022 by Matt ID photos removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burger 555 Posted September 27, 2022 Share General rule of thumb. If someone sends you a pic of 'their' ID to gain trust, walk away. 100% scammer tendency Sprockets, _David_, M L and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted September 27, 2022 Share Pro tip, if you want to verify the id as being legit Have send you A photo of the ID , next to their face , with a tea spoon in their mouth. love2fly, NeverNotRolling, MORNE and 5 others 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throttles Posted September 27, 2022 Share I didn’t even bother replying.. I see the MO is to scan the wanted adds then he checks who you’ve rated in the past and drops that persons name.. Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDonkey Posted September 28, 2022 Share More than likely he found the image of Mr vd Walt and is using that as proof. As mentioned if you want to know who they really are ask for something odd, like todays newspaper or a spoon in their mouth. Personally i think asking them to put two pencils up their nose and ask them to be a pencil case is cool. WaynejG and throttles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnavel Posted September 28, 2022 Share Thanks for sharing OP. For me, as soon as there is a request for e-wallet or similar, I immediately request the use of Bikehub Pay Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
