From the thread below, he promises to pay back and doesn't so I will insist on an arrest and no false promises.

I got the actual unit in question after sending driver to collect from this person but the unit was DOA.

 

[ScorpioMan]

@jj80 , your input is required here asap.

 

[Dirtdiver]

Just to add, I also enquired about the n54l. He sent me his number and stopped talking to me when I asked questions.

Got this number 0786883213.

I will log the case and have requested some information from people that may have visited his house.

 

[ScorpioMan]

@ps360 and @jaqkar , please open a criminal case when you can, the scammer has been perma banned.

 

[pmurgs]

He also scammed me for the N46L via the ctwug forums yesterday. The details above regarding blackpearle, tymebank and his phone number (078 688 3213) are what I have as well. He sent me a pdf invoice for the sale from blackpearlesa@gmail.com.

 

[ps360]

@jaqkar please let me know which police station you go to. I can also go to the same station and request they use the same detective.

@ThatGuy_ZA can you please pm me the case number you logged. With this new information they may be able to put this guy in jail if he does pay our money back.

@pmurgs @Kitsune please send me your case numbers (and detective contact numbers) when you have it. Will request that the cases be linked.

Have been informed there is a larger case in-flight. Will advise once we have the contact details from SAPS.

Guys 17:01 got a sms from tyme bank. Drove to Pick and Pay as fast as I could. Never in my life have I been so glad to get my own money back!!

I found his relatives information and we messaged them the link to this thread and the fact that he is going to jail (fact).

I hope you guys get your money back or items as well. If not, please contact me or @ThatGuy_ZA for the detectives information who is leading the investigation into Wynand Van Rensburg.

Thank you to @Dizzle who's vital information helped me join the dots to the previous scams and @ThatGuy_ZA for sharing the history of this guy and the case.

Will definitely think twice or be more cautious when buying again.

Nice, how did you manage to get your money back??

 

[TRINITRON]

This is the same guy who ''scammed'' me

This is my bad deals thread from that time: School Fees | Bad Deals

Over whatsapp he went under the name of Wynand and truecaller of his number shows Confido Technology Solutions.

Last correspondence over whatsapp from him was 11 October 2019.
As of 26 February 2020 his whatsapp has changed from a business account to a standard account.

As I shipped my item to him I do have the address and will be willing to share with the investigating officer if need be,

Tymebank does NOT do any kind of business banking. Not even small business. Person that uses a free bank account with minimal functionality as a purported business account would in my mind be one to view with suspicion. Glad you came right.

They do in fact offer business accounts, more geared towards small time operations but business accounts never the less.

Woah...

I opened a thread yesterday asking for another Carbie to facilitate a deal with Morne (0786883213) His WhatsApp DP is also the BlackPeal logo. He asked for payment beforehand and I refused, but he didn't persist. He was happy when I suggested another Carbie going to check out the product. @Swish came to my rescue and went to test and collect the product. Paid Morne and Swish now has the product (phew!)

Morne complained about how financially tough things have been and he's selling his shit to cover the payments he's behind on. He asked that I vouch for him on Carb if the need be.

I'm happy I got out alive, and I feel like shit that Swish was actually in the oke's house because of me.

I am really sorry to everyone that this guy scammed, I hope you get your money back and that this scum ends up in jail.

We have his house address, phone numbers, bank account details etc. that Swish and I used to conduct this deal.

Here is where Swish met the guy's brother (Martin apparently), it is an apartment building:

Granten Heights, 33 Windermere Road, Humewood, PE

Here are the contact numbers that he mentioned at different points in the conversation:
063 397 4640
064 877 2725
078 688 3213
