The Gorilla Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Has anyone been tried to be scamed by the guy name is Godfrey Mahobo, cell number 073 522 0534, he send a deposit to my bank account and insist that n must send the bike to him as the money is not yet reflecting in my account.
Dags Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I just had the same issue regarding a trek i posted. I told him i will only release the bike from my Shop floor once it has reflected in my account, he then put the phone down on me.
Kalahari Vegmot Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Don't send it... Probably just another fake name

Golden rule - do not post anything until the money is in your account!
The Gorilla Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 He also dropped the phone on me just a few minutes ago. the address he is using 229 ceres court Jacob marie street pta central.
Cogent Industries Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 He tried me as well. Easy: Sure I will accept EFT. Bike will be at a bikeshop and released by them once money clears. Godfrey quiet.

Equity Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Thats not cool,You should consider reporting him to the police.
The Gorilla Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 No I didn't give him anything. Yes that is a bit hectic.
ZakAttak Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 No I didn't give him anything. Yes that is a bit hectic. Eish, Don't worry, I think Limpopo is a bit of a drive from Pretoria.... He'll think twice before actually making a stupid attempt like that...
