Groenewald brothers scams

[Nokx]

Just saying but Bad Deals under support tab makes it hard to find.

 

[saa044]

Was just thinking, for people who are not registered on carbonite, could this site not be set so that they can only see closed deals?

 

[Raistkin]

@Toxxyc what about looking at better identification of each member?
Selfie with your ID copy and a random code/phrase given by Carb for example to be uploaded before account approval.

Scamming or fucking up on here will then become less regular. Plus if someone has the true identify of the greenwaste of space boys, it can be shared far and wide in an instance.

Never been scammed by them or anyone, but damn this pisses me off!

No, cause that can easily be faked/photoshopped. We get between 30-50 new registrations each day. Every admin/mod on this forum has a normal 9-5 with families there is no way we will be able to do this. We currently have 40+ people in the queue waiting to be approved since we've all have pretty hectic Monday's. There are way more downsides to this that upsides. People should just use common sense honestly.

@saa044 No, existing threads/items is how we attract new people, we want to show people what Carbonite has to offer, we want to give existing members and resellers exposure to the outside world as well.

Yes, why I thought if new unregistered members could see only closed deals that they will be enticed to join because they want to see the open deals. But my previous comment was more aimed at protecting the newcomers who post their cell info on for sale or wanted threads. But yes, get what you're saying.

Just a thought, but cant you have the site scrub reply's for substrings that look like cellphone numbers and just have a warning pop up saying "YO THIS A CELL NUMBER, U SURE U WANNA POST THAT?" before the reply is actually posted?

People will still post number.
It comes down to lack of common sense unfortunately

You would hope that ppl use some form of common sense... if they post they number they likely to get scammed, etc... but you cannot police idiots...

Nope. If you don't want to follow our guides, warnings and all other methods of common sense out there, only one way to be schooled remains.

It's honestly not that hard to not be scammed.

I use the "learn through other people's mistakes" approach.

 

[Oops!!!]

if you have zero common sense then yes!!

If you getting scammed by the someone who has a good, long term iTrader then there is a problem with the system but thats not the case.

Its idiots who are getting scammed by new users with zero itrader value....thats your own stupidity and you deserve it!!!

Bump, for the newbies.

According to Facebook Morne now works for a security/armed response company.

Summary:

So after Zizzy got scammed as well I got tired of these ***holes.

With existing info and threads and info he found, I tried to connect as many dots as possible with these brothers that scammed quite a few people.

They are Morne, Conrad and Ettiene Groenewald. The aliases I could find that they have used is: Reality, astrapenta, RattlesnK, eXeCute, w1zard, Flash, morra25, Mattdr, Ryno (There is probably a few more). I am not exactly sure which brother is linked to which account, but they are all guilty as f**k.

//edit for more aliases: eleCtro


The Ryno account is linked to Ryno Harmse, a friend of Ettiene on facebook. The info I got from [MENTION=4149]Zizzy[/MENTION] helped me connect everyone together on facebook, and [MENTION=21892]nod[/MENTION] confirmed that the address Zizzy listed is in fact their actual address.

I saved screenshots of all the facebook pages and how they are linked for in case Morne decides to delete his profile.

Zizzy's info:

Morne Groenewald
920625 5059 08 5
881 Commercial Street, Hercules, Pretoria Gardens

All the proof you need:

Connection between all four C***faces:

1. Morne Groenewald facebook profile:LINKY TO HIS FACEBOOK

2. Connection to to Ettiene Groenewald:

3. Connection to Conrad Groenewald:

4. Connection to Ryno Harmse:

Their address:

The address Zizzy got for the bank under Morne Groenewald is 881 Commercial street. On Morne's facebook there is a GPS location stored as "home sweet home" a few hundred meters from this address. [MENTION=21892]nod[/MENTION] also confirmed it, since he has been at their house before.

List of their scams
Everyone that has been scammed by these people should add to the list below.

Here is a list of the scams I could find in threads by looking quickly through some threads.

• [MENTION=337]Ravi[/MENTION] by Reality for R300

• [MENTION=1029]Salvo1[/MENTION] by astrapenta for R350
• [MENTION=21892]nod[/MENTION] by eXeCute for R700
• [MENTION=24310]torakza[/MENTION] by Mattdr for R200

//added:

Thanks [MENTION=467]KALSTER[/MENTION] for all the help

We have their names, address, Morne's number on his facebook and more than enough evidence. As I wasn't scammed personally, I cannot pursue this any further. I did as much as I could

So scammed people/mods, where do we go from here to stop these bottom feeding c**ts?

I was scammed for R5000 for a GPU. Thanks for the info

Oof, sorry man.
Just a tip, don't put your number on posts like this. It's an invite for non-forum members to contact you.

Sorry for your loss. DO you have further information I don't see much posts on your profile I don't see a bad deals thread. Was it reported to mod if it was done on here? Need further info man especially if they still dealing on carb on a alias.

 

[Spaffy]

Do you have a username of the scum that scammed you? If so open a bad deal thread so that the account can get banned.
Also provide more info, perhaps someone can asist you with opening a fraud case against the fucker.

 

[KALSTER]

Is it confirmed that it was one of these pieces of crap?

 

[DjPorra]

Hi Guys.

So I am new to carbonite and I will get use to it. I've been doing quite a lot of looking around and have guys check him out. The Bank has also frozen the account This guy is sitting with a lot of cases against him. I will learn how to open up a bad trend one time or another. I usually put my number on as I run so much I don't always get back to my pc for sometimes 2 or 3 days. If anyone is willing to walk me through how to open a bad trend I will do so. I don't have the user name but I have the phone number he used and the email address.

DJporra is the same person that scammed us later, youre in the same boat as these people.

This is a strong statement. A false assumption is a bad thing. Once you are proven wrong I want a public apology from you on all the social media platforms you are putting this on.

Pretty uncalled for...sort out your own bad deal...I know DjPorra personally and he is no scammer.
Read the rules of a bad deal thread...
