failed scam attempt - Apollo khuzwayo - ama steels

Hubbers

 

This guy also contacted me AMA STEELS CONSTRUCTION, his name is Godfrey now, tel no 0835806068. Send me a sms proof of payment, did not even want to view the bikes - which seems very strange.

 

My advice is do nor release any goods before you confirmed that you have the money in the bank. Do not take cash either - it is more dangerous.

 

We will always see this scammers as long as we sell high value goods.

Keep it safe and simple.

Do the deal.

When the "third party" comes to collect the item, you have a direct link to the scammer (if not the scammer himself).

What you choose to do with the "third party" is up to you.

 

 

It astounds me how many people are still caught out by these swine.

To be honest, I would not risk this. Rather give it trough to the police. Me or my families lives are much more important.

Looks Like I have the same situation.

A "Godfrey" contacted me also AMA Construction.

Sent me a payment notification via sms, but I'm not getting my actual proof of payment from the Standard bank.

He told me that they would like to collect at 6pm at easgate. As their team is leaving for polokwane.

 

Thanks for your post, it just confirms my relictance to release the bike before I see the money in my account.

SOMEone should corner him and/or his accomplices live on the handover and do something about him!  What a jackass this person is...

I'm sure he will also take a liking to my Driver...

Jokes aside

 

I can totally see how mob justice takes place in communities where they get fed up with criminals getting away with theft/slavery/murder.

 

The anger generated in me by reading these scam stories is less than 1% of the anger a mother would feel if her children's lives are being destroyed by druglords.

 

I don't condone their actions, but I can try to empathise with their feelings.

 

Hopefully life/karma will catch up with these guys at some stage and they will get what they deserve.

Here's what I would do.

 

Write R 5000.00 on the black board under " School Fees" and move on. Your laptop and cash are gone. It happens. If you keep on it's going to eat you, he's good at what he does just like you're good at what you do. Do your thing, hope someday he slips up and someone else blows his knee caps off, that way you stay out of trouble. Its only money and lets be honest it's not enough to put you out in the street?

 

But that's just what I would do.

Take 5 mates and trap the driver and his friends....  take a reservist with....

 

Persuade him to identify the top boy....

[Louis van Tonder]

If anyone is at any point looking for someone's postal/physical address details I can trace him with his Id nr or cell nr there is a cost involved though of about a R100 if he has rica'd or has a registered adrress. This has to be a legitimate request though like theft or fraud etc. Not just someone who wants to get even with his/her ex.

FYI

The same person, from AMA Steel, tried to buy my brother-in-law's motorbike about 2 weeks ago.  Luckily he was savvy enough to demand to see the transfer reflect in his account first.

I wouldn't even let a R50 item go, before  the cash reflects in my account, why are people letting their bikes ,etc. go before seeing the cash?
