mon-goose Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 never ever ever ever ever accept a cheque and let the goods go before the cheque has cleared
Daneel46 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 I sold the bike on The Hub, the guy phoned me from Joburg, His name is apparently France he wanted my bike, After payment was done I couriered the bike to him and then he, my bike and the money disappeared.

Edge_Design Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 That really sucks. Nothing you can do from the delivery address or with the courier's proof of delivery?
FootballingCyclist Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 That really sucks. Nothing you can do from the delivery address or with the courier's proof of delivery? Also curious as to whether there is nothing that SAPS can do as you must have an address to which you couriered the bike..
EmptyB Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Sorry for your loss, that seriously sucks. If I may ask...why on earth did you accept a cheque?
urbanroyal Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Faaark. ...this makes me wanna put my bike up for sale and then wait for Frans????????????
Skinnyone Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 In this day and age you accepted a cheque deposit?....cash is king no eft and if they want to pay eft then wait till you can verify the funds are available to withdraw before sending the goods...
Baaisikilist Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hope it was insured... It's as gone as if it was stolen from you at gunpoint.Very expensive school fees...Unlucky boet...
Rushdee Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 after a case is opened surely the delivery address can be inspected formally by SAPS?
DIPSLICK Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hope it was insured... It's as gone as if it was stolen from you at gunpoint.Very expensive school fees...Unlucky boet...Nope insurance will see it as poor judgement and the incorrect process of "sale"
