gallen Posted September 25, 2018 Share I received this private message this morning. It always makes me nervous when someone says "I am based in Namibia but a team mate of mine will be in Somerset on Friday" Hallo, I am interested in the Tri shoes you are advertising, could you possibly send me your contact details please. Also confirm that these are definitely Tri shoes as the only Spez Tri shoes I know is the trivent. You can also WhatsApp me on +xxxxxx ( I am based in Namibia but a team mate of mine will be in xxxxx on Friday) Thank you From: Roual Spangenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted September 25, 2018 Share Doest sound immediately dodgy... I've often had a mate buy stuff for me on JHB because I won't get there quickly enough. Just stick to the rules of only handing over goods once cash is in hand or money has cleared and you won't need to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meet his friend, get the cash and be done with the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkitech Posted September 25, 2018 Share so far nothing seems out of place. I also ask for help when purchasing things outside of driving distance. As long as nothing gets traded beforehand, this deal is looking standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Trident Spez shoes and you have only 2 pictures that is the SAME picture and it does not look like it is a pic of the actual shoes but an online version. Looking at this, your add looks more dodge than the buyer asking questions :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means be cautious when dealing, but to call out and name a guy based on the fact that he lives somewhere far is not cool. Especially if he has offered a face-to-face with someone to pick up the shoes. Just don't let the shoes go without confirming receipt of cash, in whatever form.

sierrrd Posted September 25, 2018 Share This guy's name and reputation will be in the search engines as long as this post lives on. Apparently, for no reason other than residing in Namibia. Or Nambia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted September 25, 2018 Share This is not cool. I don't see any reason to name him on a public forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallen Posted September 25, 2018 Share This is not cool. I don't see any reason to name him on a public forum. Personally I'd rather someone post my details here than ignore my request completely. I was thinking it could go one of two ways:He is a scammer and everyone will be warned. He isn't a scammer and everyone knows to trust him.I made contact and Roual seems legitimate. I'll be meeting up with his friend on Friday. I would say he has many questions as your advert is not very clear. There is no Trident Spez shoes and you have only 2 pictures that is the SAME picture and it does not look like it is a pic of the actual shoes but an online version.Looking at this, your add looks more dodge than the buyer asking questions :-) Yeah, I realised the error after posting the images. I'll take the "it is a pic of the actual shoes but an online version" As a compliment. It helps having a wife who enjoys photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
