PSYCHOsmurfZA Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 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. A little late but just some info regarding ewallet and FNB, you have 16hrs to reverse a ewallet transaction from FNB. Sydd 1
Skylark Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 A little late but just some info regarding ewallet and FNB, you have 16hrs to reverse a ewallet transaction from FNB.That's only if it hasn't been withdrawn yet?
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 @ADMIN, I reported an ad I find suspicious. How do I follow up on it?Don't want to falsely accuse anybody but when an add looks to good to be true, I report it and yet it remains visible. Just want to make sure if it is dodgy, that no one gets caught......

Only a few forum reports from April. EDIT: Ok, sorry. I found it. The ticket had already been closed. UPDATE: On checking the report at the time it came in, we had no reason based on the information available to us to suspect that the seller was fraudulent. I can't disclose private information but if you're interested, drop them a message and I'm sure they'll put your mind at rest. Long Wheel Base 1

Chadvdw67 Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Scammer responded to a wanted add I placed yesterday morning, almost caught us, but the red flags started flying high when he was phoning every 5 minutes asking for a payment, at first we were going to get the bike shipped to us, but when the flags started flying we said we will collect it with cash in hand and he went off his rocker that E wallet is an easy way to do business and we are just wasting his time.... Guys name is Lionel, supposedly, number used is +27 62 322 7532
