Matt Posted November 14, 2017 Share Hi all, We've been alerted to a scammer under the username "AVermaak", mobile number 0631255502 who had listed a Rockshox Pike which was sold to two members, along with other adverts for a Rockshox Vivid Coil and Rockshox Float X2. We immediately banned the account and are assisting the two affected members with the investigation. Please be cautious and report any incidents or suspicious activity immediately via support@bikehub.co.za Some additional info: The "seller" asked the buyer to pay via Absa CashSend (an option to send money to people without a bank account). If a seller asks for this (or similar services from other banks) as a payment option it should raise alarm bells.Updates:We've picked up this user trying to re-register recently under the following names:"Graham": 0833380586lschoeman - 0603168268mwelsh - 0603168268andredeklerk: 0632719647AndrewJordaan: 0735571325sfourieft: 0719242226fransj / francois: 0780588679kobie / koenie: 0632361766JJ / JOHAN VAN WYK: 0632361766Danie Le Roux / "Anton": 0717684977Pierre Viljoen: 065 524 4992 Francois van schalkwyk / Armand van Tonder: 0736403926 Sepia, VolkAdik, Reme Le Hane and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
