samson99 Posted July 2, 2020 Share He tried to buy my bike as well. But didn't appreciate the fact that i wanted the funds to clear in my account before he took the bike. I even offered to deliver it for him. Never heard from him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTk Posted July 3, 2020 Share It's common skill mainly used my Nigerians. They send through fake proof of payment and assure you it will clear. They send you a fake proof of payment and request an Uber for pickup.As long as the payment does not reflect in your account... Don't allow your goods to go. Simply rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted July 4, 2020 Share It's common skill mainly used my Nigerians. They send through fake proof of payment and assure you it will clear. They send you a fake proof of payment and request an Uber for pickup. Fill a cardboard bike box with all kinds of sh!t, maybe even literally and if you can find one, a snake. Tell him you have packed the bike for easy shipping. Arrange for his uber to pick it up at "your work" and meet him at some nondescript place. Go home, put a steak on the fire and have a well earned Buffelsfontein or two. keithbe, TYGA, cadenceblur and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahul_111 Posted January 23, 2022 Share The same thing happened to me, except he stole my Canon camera. He assured me he’s a man of God and the money will reflect within an hour. Stupidly, I handed over the camera to the driver and off it went. Any progress on your end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
