Pantani Posted May 29, 2009 Share 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.

Gravity Posted May 29, 2009 Share Well fortunately all the bank has to do is is look for someone shaped like Israel, and he will be nabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantani Posted May 29, 2009 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted May 29, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyr249 Posted May 29, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
