Recommended Posts

Please be aware thst a person claiming to be Huber phoned me to say he has a Specialized carbon frame for sale as he has had a heart attack and can no longer ride

Gave his name as Cameron

75 Ethel road Northcliff Randburg

Tel 0817906900 and 0815422617

Insisted on a Send Money transfer and when we tried to collect found out name and address is all fictitious

He had picked up on the Hub that Im looking to replace my broken frame and I fell for his offer .... i know its my fault but please be aware these mongrels are surfing the Hub continuously to try score

I am so sorry its happened to you it must be 1 of the worst feelings when you realise what happened.

I am old fashioned I want to see it for myself to see the condition and pay cash if happy and leave with it.

You send him money after a phone call? Right..

Kick a guy while he is down.

 

OP, sorry it happened to you, but on the bright side - it's a mistake you make only once.

I only buy or sell sometimes and when I do it see-pay first. i want to see the item and condition before handing over money and flip side I want to see the money before handing over item and arrange to meet at a shopping center.

I also had an experience the other day, I won't go into too much details but after I did not want to send the item the person got very hostile  :thumbdown:. Some real idiots out there!
