Hello,

Today was the first time I burned my fingers...
[MENTION=37324]*UnknowNSoldieR*[/MENTION] "(Johan (JR) Janse van Rensburg from Kimberley)" and I made a deal for his ASUS screen, where I would pay him R1800 + my LG screen which would then be collected by the courier when they delivered his ASUS to me.

Unfortunately I trusted his word, paid the money over, only to have him block me on whatsapp when I started inquiring as to the details of the screens delivery etc.

He subsequently blocked my husband as well when he started asking him the same questions.

Sad excuse for a human being like this really grates my carrot.

I hope this thread can forewarn other potential victims.

Phippa
 
Ai ai, guess you can say goodbye to your money hey.

Name and shame

Bank details and Contact details please
[MENTION=37324]*UnknowNSoldieR*[/MENTION] [MENTION=36891]Phippa[/MENTION]

Also open a case of fraud against this chap and complain at the bank as you need proof of address and valid ID to open a bank account.

The banks use internal software that they record events like these on.

:) FU scammer scum
 
"grates my carrot" lololololol XD
Good luck though!
 
Post them details,burn as much of their accounts and numbers as you can
 
Morning,

I'm still a bit in shock. Here is this @#$-Faces details.

Bank: ABSA
Account Holder: JR Janse van Rensburg
Account Number: 9233172736
Account Type: Savings
Email: unknownsoldier636@gmail.com
Cell: 073 840 4438

His wife is pregnant and he needs the money. But I see the stuff he sells here on Carbonite "Reason: I want bigger and better".
I should've known.

So angry.

Have a great Womansday to you all... not for me though.

Whats the telephone number he used?
 
According to truecaller his/her name is Boitumelo Lehohla but once you go to the police and make a case, you should make a photocopy of the reported case and take it along to the bank and get more details if possible.

I suspect it was a Groenewald, they have moved over to identity fraud recently and it could be someone elses phone they used to do commit the scam with.

Guys i see the cell number i got is different to the one you guys got. When i contacted him about the Antec psu i wanted he used this number to contact me 076 555 4617
 
Hello,

This guy "Johan" also scammed me over the weekend stating he had a Z97 MotherBoard, i5 4670k CPU and 16gb of Ram combo for R3400 so we spoke and he seemed to know all the correct info about these parts so we made a deal and I made a payment via Shoprite/Checkers cash deposit and he said he was already posting my hardware at Postnet only to find out he never did and kept making excuses when asked for the tracking details. I hope the following info will help others as well so we can track this guy down this was giving by Checkers as to the person who collected the money from the store bearing in mind you need an original ID to collect the cash.

According to Checkers if a case is made video footage can be obtained to see who exactly collected the money.

Too good to be true tends to be an easy scam. Make a case asap and get video footage..
 
Seriously. How guys. Just how.

what was his contact number and contact details?? and what his username on carbonite?

its definately a groenie Daspoort is pta north
 
Contact details and numbers have been posted already and he also blocked me on whatsapp after I told him I was going to track him down also he used a mixture of voice messages and texts messages on WhatsApp and I know for sure the guy speaking was indeed a white guy with a bit of an afrikaans accent, but only to find out at Checkers the name used to collect the money was Zwelinjani James Deda, so I'm guessing either this person or persons have a scammer team or the person at Shoprite who served him was too stupid to know that this name is not a white person's name and realise this guy is using fake IDs.

ok which ones were posted? im trying to figure out whos phone he used for what?
 
Y'know, threads like these make the saying "crime doesn't pay" really seem obsolete. I can make a killing just scamming people, but instead I work my ass off for every last cent.

I didnt get scammed, but he did try his luck with me. I told him my way or the highway. He was like wow he couldnt believe that i dont trust him. He even contacted me again the next day to ask ok how can we do this deal so i said again you sent i receive i test and when im happy ill do eft. He was like i need the cash urgent so i said sorry no deal.

I posted his whatsapp number already. 076 555 4617

Technically he works his ass off for every cent as well.. Scamming is a full time job. Checking who is his next victim and who is oblivious enough to fall for his tricks..

I think it's a lot less work, TBH.

Step 1: Draft a good scam message.
Step 2: Send to all newbies.
Step 3: Sit back and wait for the money to come in.
 
The number he gave me was also 076 555 4617, I'm guessing this number can be tracked down since to have a number it must be RICA which was designed to prevent these kinds of scams mainly, anyways I'm gonna make a case and see if the police can obtain the video footage of him at the shoprite money market because it might be more than one person in on this scamming business.
 
and I made a payment via Shoprite/Checkers cash deposit

Broer jy doen mos nie sulke goed nie ! AYBO ! never ever checkers cash deposit. - if there is no itrader, ask them to use a eskrow service from standard bank. If they spin stories then leave it !!
 
Tank you all.
for coming forward and warning me/us newbs.
:)
