UPDATE: Does anyone know Preston Luke Scott from KZN

Had a similar thing happen to me on bid or buy. The guy gave himself a fake rating by creating another user to 'buy' from him.

 

Long story short, I had a friend with access to banking records. He got me the guy's real name and number. Then like Bogus One, I used a bit of google work with his number and found adds to his business and a work email. Also found his FB profile.

 

He crapped himself when an email came through to his business email stating his full name, address, his wife's cell number and the fact that I know he has a 3-4yr old daughter (picked up form the FB profile pic).

 

He payed me back instantly pleading for me not to go to the police as he would lose his company.

If you got a response from him on "manager@globalro3.co.za" then there is a very good chance of contacting the contact listed in the whois, either directly or through the police:

 

admin : Bonthuys Tracy

title : DNS Administrator

company : Global Ro3 Liquids (PTY) Ltd

postaladdr : Postnet 9, Private Bag X5516, Scottburgh, Kwa-zulu Natal, ZA, 4180

phone : 0313045367

 

Sounds like a legit business and they would know who has access to that e-mail address etc.

 

 

check the address etc on the contact_us link I posted as well

Anybody with access to e-filing can check the VAT number listed...might just be that of the client (globalro3), not the web hosting company?

here's another email address linked to him tentech@live.co.za

 

It seems he's selling a Merida 96 Team for R48 000 on Junkmail. Same cellphone number as you listed, and based in Hillary, KZN (the area where the tough guys live)

PLEASE tell me you went to the police, would teach him a lesson not to do it again and will put these fraudsters behind bars

What he meant is get a certified copy of ID,etc...send it to thehub admin and they then give you rights to sell...you dont have to start a whole file. I am sure if it happened to you you will react in the same way as everyone of us

Oi I feel for these guys, just not sure if that is the right way to go about it and securing sales, that's all. Scammers are ingenius in their ways and I am sure they have the means to get false docs. Heck this oke even knew bikes by the sound of things

 

I agree with cassie that it is crap, but maybe there are better ways to stop this from happening again...what they are, I dont know.

 

Since I started this hi-jack, I will stop it...lets start a new thread on suggestion for stopping scammers here

This one shouldn't be hard to track, with the cell number and banking details the police will pick him up quick - this is exactly why FICA and RICA were introduced.

 

You guys who have been taken need to swap details and case numbers and make your police stations aware that there are other cases and charges currently open, that way the investigating officer will deal with all cases at the same time as opposed to first trying to collate everything together - things are still done manually in this country :unsure:

This sh!t has to stop....right now...

 

@ADMIN...why can we not have a seperate buy / sell section where:

(1) you have to register properly...with full disclosure of one's details i.e id doc / proof of residence & banking details...that sort of stuff.

I'd feel much more comfortable doing deals if that was the case....

 

(2) no pseudonyms etc. are being used? That way traceability is better... If you have nothing to hide then i'd like to do bussiness with you...BUT if you cannot even supply me with your basic details...then it is simply dodgy!!

 

(3) Admin will /can have only access to those "confidential" details...and in case a deal goes south...then Admin can supply such details to Police or affected party...

 

(4) after all - have you seen the amount of personal info needed to register on PPA website? ARGUS entry etc.?

 

C'mon, lets do something proactive here and become a leader in web based trading...other may just learn from THEHUB and adopt our bussiness model!

 

What is so difficult about my suggestion?

I have a better idea: how about we use the Hub for talking about cycling, and somewhere else for buying and selling stuff. It was, and would be, a better place for it.

i would say 99% certain he's a scammer. but not a good one.

 

because i followed the other dodgy seller here who has also disappeared - xc7000 and under his profile his real name is...preston

 

https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum/user/19558-xc7000/

 

 

XC7000's name is Preston 1

Railed's name is Luke

PRESTON LUKE Scott

He was backing himself... Open the case of aud if you ask me Chris

Hi guys,

I spoke to a contact at absa and they have given me a adress of..........

 

Hope this helps...

 

shawn, rather delete your post and address and PM it to Chris. If something comes of this, the pvt information (which could also be incorrect) may land the wrong person in trouble.

 

use it dont use it, but my guess is that what you have done is very risky
