Still possible to report it as a scam to FB .... for as much good as that will do ....

 

If more people report it .... who knows when (or if) FB will take note ...

He was beaten up and arrested today.his firts appearance in court is on Monday. 

I'll post a pic of his real face just now but his real name is morne joubert

It sounds like i was the fifth or sixth person that he scammed

I'll update the thread once he is sentenced

I phoned the garage where he shipped the parcel from and asked for cctv footage and they gave me a guy's number who already asked for cctv footage and he told me that the guy was beaten up and arrested.and he also asked for my case number
