Yep.  Same happened to me with AMA Steel and this guy. Watch out for someone claiming he is "Apollo Khuzwayo" working at AMA Steel Construction, contactable on 0783197010 and apollokhuzwayo@gmail.com. He asks his items be shipped to 229 Ceres Court, Jeff Masemula Street, PTA. Fake person scamming you out of money with fake sms's and a pleasant phone manner.

He called me 20 times because I am threatening to take legal action the best I can against him.  Please report him to the site/s you met him on and see if they can find out who it really is or he won't stop!

I'm strongly considering legal action.  He's not as anonymous as he thinks...  The item he scammed from me has a hidden GPS in it, so unless he tampered with it, there's a good shot at finding out more or less where he is.  Anyway, he must be stopped.

Next person who deals with Apollo.

Tell him the funds cleared and you would like to deliver personally :ph34r:

tell him to send the courier and waste his Money with a fictitious address.

Did he scam you out of money or items?

Unless you have suffered financial loss you will be wasting time and money pursueing this matter further.

Both.  He owes me almost R5 000.

I also just got a call from Apollo from +27 78 319 7010, same story. He e-mail address is apparantly:  apollokhuzwayo@gmail.com

Keep everything about him record.  Emails, sms's and so on.  Even if it's all fake, at some point he's going to be unable to keep his stories straight and we might find something that's true about his location or name, at least.

Ok, thought his attempt also failed with you.

Good luck, just remember the justice system is not as quick and effective as we would like it to be.

Busy with a summary summons and between the affidavits and respondents defending the summons, getting a trial date set it has taken us 6 months. Correspondence and legal fees are already over R8000.Chances are he does not even have that amount to repay you or a salary that can be garnished.

Weigh in your options carefully as this may become a costly exercise.

Good luck
