Scammed by Manimal

[Japes1312]

Seller: @Manimal
Buyer: @Japes1312
Description of Bad Deal:

I posted an ad yesterday that I'm looking for a 4th Gen 4790. @Manimal sent me a private message saying that he had a 4790k processor and will be happy to sell it to me. We then proceeded to talk on Whatsapp. He sent me photos that looked real (attached). I reverse searched the images on google and nothing came up so I thought it was legit. He was being the typical nice afrikaans guy. He asked me to send him the cash via Standard Banks instant money service. This made me a bit suspicious so I asked if he could send me a photo of his ID so that I know he is legit. He then sent me a photo of an ID (attached). I highly doubt it is this guy. Anyway to my regret I ended up sending him the money and he disappeared with his last excuse being that he is in traffic and his battery is going to die. I looked through the bad deals thread and there are a few cases (for example (Don't trust FuriousMatty | Bad Deals) extremely similar to this which makes me believe this is not the first time he scammed on carbonite. He is a very persuasive dude with an afrikaans accent. I am going to open a case of fraud after my last exam on Saturday but I need all the information I can get. I was hoping an admin could give me the email linked to his account?

The picture of the girl is his whatsapp profile picture.

I'd like to make it clear, that this idiot is in no way linked to me, its a real fucking shame that he's used my alias to do this shit with.

I can also confirm 100% that this is not me, because I'm most certainly not "He was being the typical nice afrikaans guy." lol.. I cant speak afrikaans for shit.

Sorry for your bad deal, I was also once scammed on carb

It was related to this post: [Wanted] - Cheap sh1t | Laptops
I was looking for a cheap laptop to run poker timing software for our poker nights.. I got a PM from a guy, who communicated with me via whatsapp using lots of voice notes..
Like an idiot, I sent a small amount of money via imali - lesson learnt, it will never happen again...

.. after that his number disconnected and was gone forever.

I'm sure its this guy in the attached image.. I see he is already banned.

I never reported it at the time....
