Please get back to me via email at smitc12@yahoo.com looking forward to your response” Red flags: I’m not selling a bike, sending a Whatsapp and asking for email response, erm...foreign number... Bikehub user Colinv, also newThis was the response: Yes, I am really interested in buying this as a surprise for my cousin, only if you can assure me that everything is in order. I am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore, I want this to be a surprise for my cousin, so I won't let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him. It will be a secure payment via Skrill as I'm on a rig offshore. So, let me know if you have an account with Skrill so I can arrange for the payment asap. Please note, a pickup agent will be coming for the pickup once I have made the payment. SCAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there no vacancies in the SA government? Warthog whisperer, Balooba, Boktiet82 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 1, 2021 Share Just a Public Service Announcement.I have been in the market for a PS4 Pro and have now found a number of ads where when reverse searching the image brings up ads from the UK and Europe.Be careful out there, search the images if anything looks fishy.

Balooba Posted February 1, 2021 Share Hi All Anybody had dealings with the below? I posted an add and 5 min later got WhatsApp call. Wanted the bike shipped via courier. Wanted discount which I approved. Am I willing to courier? Said yes, at his expense. Said he will take care of courier cost as he has a account with a courier company - sounded like "Courier Guy". Wanted my account details. Said that I would send it shortly. 2 min later got WhatsApp asking for account numbers. Not once did the person ask any specific questions related to the bike. I am good at giving a proper description but not that good. If legit, my humble apology's. Name : It's Time to rideLooking to buy/sellor service a bicycle? Look no further Give us a call 072 382 8588Dealers in pre loved bicycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
