Fraudsters operating on The Hub

[Pantani]

 

 

Please be careful in all your transactions people. I received a call from a gentleman (I'm always polite) interested in buying my Zipps. We spoke and exchanged details. He described himself as being Israel from the East Rand. I gave him my banking details and he said he would do an EFT payment.

 

I have just received a call from Nedbank. They say they have apprehended someone passing a fraudulent cheque into my account. This is the second time in a month this has happened to me and both occasions were large amounts of money.

 

It seems like the only way to transact is cash in hand these days. Please be vigilant.

What's his username?

[Gravity]

Well fortunately all the bank has to do is is look for someone shaped like Israel, and he will be nabbed.

[Pantani]

I doubt he was a Hubber... It's sort of similar to the syndicates that trawl the ads on Gumtree... If you post telephone details then they phone and try and conclude a deal...

Need not even be a registered hubber, you can view all posts as guest

Always maintain  the east rand is the promised land.

 

The easiest way to check if a payment is legit is to check your available balance, any payment not yet cleared will not reflect in there.

Cash can be just as bad make sure you have and ultra violet light to confirm notes are real

Beg to differ ABSA clears funds immediatly, or so they do with me, so I always wait a few days

maybe a friend of singletrackmind?

A cheque payment will reflect almost immediately subject to a clearing period of about a week. So only after a week consider the money properly in your account.

Seems like some people will do anything money!
