Unfortunately I don't think so extract from thread

Hi Hein,

I'm posting the exact same text that I have posted in reply to Corrie88's comment:

Although Andre mentions a combined amount of R84000, I believe that Etienne owes them at least R200000.00 in accrued outstanding salaries, contracted amounts that weren't paid, subsequently ending in a breach of contract, and accrued leave pay for leave that was never taken by Andre and Charmaine. That is besides the the so-called "retrenchment package" that is, to this date, still due to Charmaine and that she has lost hope of ever receiving. Her ex-colleague, Sonika, was the only Gauteng-based employee that ever received a retrenchment package as far as I know.

Andre has left the company in 2015 and Charmaine in 2016. Yet this Etienne freak has never stopped using their names in a fraudulent capacity. Andre only found out about this after he recently once again lost a job unexpectedly, and the guy who fired him mentioned threads such as this particular one as the reason.

These two people are also just victims of Etienne and his "boyfriend" Lionel. They are currently at their wits end, and are trying their best to make ends meet... all because of what Etienne has done to them. All they want is to be able to find proper jobs so that they can give their six-year-old daughter the life that she deserves. I can personally vouch for the truthfulness of Andre's statement. If people commenting on this thread could just give him a chance to prove what he says is true, then perhaps they will be able to start making a living again, and carry on with their lives.

By the way: last known address for Etienne: 120 Globe road, Pietermaritzburg (his father's place). Last known cell no: 0844318995. His "boyfriend" Lionel is his current business partner. Not too sure about Lionel's address, but I do know that he does not live with Etienne in his father's place.

One final thing: please remove the address 10 Aldergrove Lane, Bonaero Park from your records, since that is now my address, and I keep getting visitors from the police and other legal entities searching for Etienne. I moved into the same flat where Etienne used to live, and it seems that I have inherited Etienne's luggage as well as his feral fricking cat! And boy, do I hate cats, lol! It was only about two days ago that I found his address and cell no online.

Hope this can be settled in an amicable way, since I feel that Andre and Charmaine has been through enough. It is about time they are given a break.
 
O my word........ thanks for posting the voice clip.

This guy just took me for R3600 on OLX, yesturday.

I know I know I was stupid and should never have done the deal over internet and not face to face. Learnt my lesson and burnt my hand.

I think this is him too

When I contacted him he said he is in Claremont Pretoria.

He quickly lost interest and went quiet when I told him I could send someone that is close by to facilitate.

I have voice notes if someone wants to confirm its him.

Yes so Iv spoken to this dude in the voice clip quite a few times (knowing its a scam). I usually just string him along until he gets pissed off.

Anyway, same story, add was for Gardens, Cape Town. Turns out he was in Pretoria gardens.

He watches these threads as well.

Useless piece of shit


Here is the thread he was reading while I was pretending to buy his scam

This is what a Groenewald would say. Where is that ban hammer???
 
Guys if you have the bank account details, contact the respective bank and log a fraud case stating that the acount is involved in fraud. Sysadmins of carb could compile a report on posts and present as supporting documentation for there investigation. The bank is obligated to investigate fraud and crime related claims. Sorry to hear though...

This could have been tried and it isn't the responsibility of the admin/mods (who don't get paid) to compile this.
