Help.Me. Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Hi All, He just tried to sell a MTB tandem to me. His name is Danie Le Roux now, 071 768 4977, pretend to be a farmer in the Beaufort West area. Please be careful for this user, sound quite honest and sincere.tell him a friend stays in BW area and wants to inspect the bike??
lerouc Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 So i am now a statistic as well. A guy called Danie Le Roux scammed me out of a 2k for a set of thule bike racks on Gumtree. He claims he is from Beaufort West and even phoned me after i said i dont think i want to do this and told me that we speak the same language (afrikaans) and he wont scam me. (idiot) He has since gone silent, (even got a couple hundred extra out of me for postage), his whatsapps still deliver and he reads them, he does not answer when i phone. His profile pic on whatsapp is of a Liesl le Roux photographer and i contacted her and she got back to me saying i am the second person that contacted her and she does not know him he used a photo from her online portfolio. His details:Name: Danie le Roux (apparently)Cell: 0717684977Email: Lerouxdaniebk@gmail.comGumtree profile: https://www.gumtree.co.za/u-seller-listings/danie/v1u113611380p1FNB Account: 62598469601 I should've seen the warning signs but i thought i can trust him, he sounded like an older gentleman on the phone. So beware people.

Grayskull Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Go into an FNB branch an deposit a R1 into his account multiple timesI think the cash deposit fee is about R60 for deposits at the branchUse your name as a reference and a smiley face Not sure if this will work (if they have a minimum deposit amount), but if it does it sure will piss him off

So i am waiting on the other person to open the case then i will use that case number to get his account blocked and only myself can have it unblocked or if police case is resolved...

So beware people. See my post earlier with regards to trust just because he (well, the collection of them) speaks or comes across as an Afrikaans person.
lerouc Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I also tried now and did not pick up the number, that's not good!Admin???All i can think is it search headers and not the detail of the posts of the threads.
nathrix Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 All i can think is it search headers and not the detail of the posts of the threads. Then admin needs to add the number to the header if you want to find it on the hub. Fortunately a Google search does pick up the scammer's number:
