mecheng89 Posted May 16, 2021 Share I cannot believe the phone call I got - the guy had the audacity and cheek to phone me back, gloating about the fact that he caught me, getting sexual satisfaction from the fact, and then.. PROCEEDING TO BARTER WITH ME, TELLING ME HE'D GIVE 50% BACK! Naturally I told him I want everything back since also asking back for half may seem suspicious when it comes to the bank's investigation.

Would it help to record such a conversation, and hand it over to the bank ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as the majority of the conversation took place over WA Call, the recording isn't saved anywhere, unless someone can point me towards it in the phone's memory. Android.

aquaratza Posted May 16, 2021 Share Why did you send money via eWallet? Was he going to ship it to you? I'd walk away, it's the hardest thing to do but doing anything else will just waste more of your time and/or money. Use this as a learning opportunity.

Jewbacca Posted May 16, 2021 Share Okes, BikeHub pay. Sorry, I know it's too late and being scammed sucks, but e-wallet transfers are notoriously 99% scammers. It is always a cheap Garmin or Thule and e-wallet. People lose their minds over a good deal and reason goes out the window. I'm sure deep down you knew this was a scam. The amount of times the MA has been discussed on BikeHub is astounding. I'm usually a really compassionate person who despises injustice, but these sorts of scams are rife. Trading in a free market on the internet is a dangerous place. Making sure you know what scams are being run all the time is basic due diligence. fanievb, ChrisF and aquaratza 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted May 16, 2021 Share Walking away is what keeps this kind of activity going, but sadly, there probably wouldn't be enough interest from authorities to pursue the matter and these cons know it.! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiss. Warradoos. I would love to gather a few Bloem dutchies. Pitch up at his house in our bakkies. Open up a can of whoop ass on him. See if he is still so confident after that.
