Latest Gumtree scammer

Advertise a phone on gumtree and watch them crawl out of the woodwork...

073 174 6850 "Kevin Heyman"
065 859 4074 "C.S Macritchie"

First one emailed a PoP from Standard Bank, was a fairly good fake actually, along with proof of residence and ID, money obviously never showed.

Second one sent an SMS PoP from Nedbank, this one was REALLY good, reference number didn't link to an actual transaction though.

You can weed out a lot of these ****ers by insisting they email a PoP directly from the bank instead of attaching it, they disappear so ****ing fast when you ask that.

Kevin Heyman is alive and operating... Got a reply on my ad from a "Kevin Heyman" (as per TrueCaller), different cell 0695979758. Same scenario: very interested, sending someone to collect immediately, will send copy ID, and proof of residence ("so I would know who I'm dealing with" - how thoughtful...) with proof of payment, the funds should clear by midnight. Even offer me R200 extra for the inconvenience. I would never allow pickup without the funds cleared, don't think I'll hear from him again.

These guys are where you let them spend money to arrange pickup. First you arent home. So he tries again. Then perhaps send a box with a brick in it
 
I get a lot of scammers messaging me to invest in their Binary Options Company where I can triple my investment in 1 week. I always play along till I get their banking details to make the "investment".. Once I get their banking details I do a loan application on https://loanshub.co.za/ which is a scam company that will run R99 debit orders on the account.
Do you guys know of other websites that do these R99 debit order scams? I'd love to sign them up for as many as I can.

I think this is very amusing.

However, does that not open you up to the possibility of a fraud charge?

I very much doubt that Nigerian scammers are going to lay fraud charges on their scamming bank accounts. I also use a VPN when doing the application. They also are probably sending thousands of messages so there is no way they can pin point who exactly they gave their banking details to.

Also these scammers usually pay locals to open bank accounts for them and I doubt the locals are going to report this to anybody.
 
They have all been very busy. Had 2 of them, Victor Da Cruz and Jody Radford.
All offshore working on rigs and or chefs on boats. PayPal is their preferred method of parting you from your money. I sent all correspondence with them to Gumtree and hopefully good people won’t fal victim.

Put up a desktop for sale couple weeks back. Guy wanted me to ship via Gumtree shipping.
Incidentally I received correspondence from Gumtree earlier that same week about scammers trying to phish for banking details using a bogus website.
Needless to say I nipped that right in the bud.
