Suspicion of a SCAM
17th of Aug, 2011 by
Hello,

The price is R64,500. The bakkie looks and runs great. I am selling the bakkie so cheap because I am in United Kingdom with my new job and I just finished a divorce. I am a VerifiedTrader so the transaction will be done through eBay. If you're ready for this purchase, I need to know your full name and address, as soon as I have them I will start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you about this. eBay will send you an Invoice with all the info you will need to complete the transaction. Also a 10 days refund policy will be included so if you will not like the bakkie you will receive your money back. Thanks

Good day!

My mother used to say "if something is to good to be true, it probably isn't!!"

The same with this! I almost transferred R40 000, 00 for payment of a HI-LUX bakkie (2006) model! Please be VERY CAREFUL - this is a scam! The moment I asked for any proof of identification, or registration papers for the vehicle, he/she (in my case "his" name was Thabo Hunter!!! he disappeared!

I tried to contact eBay, but no response!

Be very careful!
