On Facebook there is a guy named Jack Bruwer that sells a ton of stuff, daily!?  Is this maybe one of you? Is he legit?  I've never seen anything suspicious, but yoh, he has a lot of stuff.  

 

Once or twice there was something a was interested in, but I'm a bit skeptical to buy over Facebook.

 

 

 

 

 

Hallo Jack, are you here?  I just need to see your Bikehub profile.

 

He is legit. 

 

Had a very long deal running with him for a complete bike. Only reason I didn't go through with it was because i couldn't go and view the bike. Richardsbay vs Jhb

 

He is on the hub. I just can't find his username.

I sold some stuff to Jack the other day - no hassles! And asks fair prices for his stuff. I've never met him, but will drop him a message just to suggest he shows his face here :)

Thanks.  Will keep an eye on his ads.

Since he seems to have a ton of postive reviews, sure its safe to post his profile here:

@ Admins:

Can't you guys record scammers IP Address so as to pick up those that merely change alias and e-mail address?

 

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.....

I got called by a chap called ‘Henk from Roodepoort’ yesterday, claiming to have a part that I was looking for in a wanted ad. Sounded legit, but of course all the details about the product were in my wanted ad.

 

He insisted that I ewallet the cash to him as he was on his way to the shops and would send it via postnet.

 

I missed a scam alert off the site and made the transfer. R600 to +27 62 044 3792. No word since.

 

I was a bit silly, but don’t want it to happen to anyone else.

 

His profile on the hub was Pierre Muller.

Sorry to hear you got caught by this guy. If you haven't already please report this to FNB.

 

Scammers frequently use eWallet and similar "send to mobile" services from other banks. Although the services themselves are useful, it makes life very easy for scammers to get money without the need for a bank account.

Some good news, scammer Dee Barry was caught by the Hawkes. One less to worry about.

Nice, where did you see that news?
