Rodney Fourie? Haha, same here, sigh.
Also been contacted by him now
Today he tried as Joshua.... But delivery adress etc is the same, shame, like we are idiots....
Rodney Fourie ([email protected]) is still very much active on Gumtree. Same MO ... fake PayFast 'payment', he doesn't use a phone because he isn't allowed to at work (but he can email without any restrictions), doesn't have a bank account, delivery won't be to him but rather to 'Joseph' who is his nephew in Sunningdale.
The delivery address currently:
Joseph
1 Forest Drive
Pearls of Fourways
Johannesburg
2062
He has zero email etiquette, is incontactable except for email address, has an email address called 'PayFast Service' with address of [email protected] that he mans too. Was almost scammed out of R5400 for a Samsung phone but pulled the parcel at the last minute. I sent him a copy of the waybill and he still thinks it's on the way to him because he is still replying by email. He must be too lazy to go to the track and trace function to see where the parcel actually is. He keeps on telling me the money will be transferred to me when the package is delivered because PayFast is also tracking the package. I am acting frantic on email pretending to be stressing because I think he is a scammer and threatening to go to the police etc etc. He actually said I I contact the police because he will be able to explain himself better to them than to me, because I am 'not patient'. So the the scammer is being scammed.
He is clearly not English or Afrikaans speaking. The syntax in his emails is disturbingly poor. He is a lowlife scum and he must be getting away with some deals else he would change his MO. He clearly changes his email address often and changes up his delivery address too.
I wonder how he could be found? I wonder if he is the one signing for the deliveries he receives? He must be close by when the delivery is happening. A collaboration with a courier company would be great. I'm sure between us we could create a fake Guntree ad and scam him, then catch him red handed?

reviving a old post...
Advertised my PS4 Pro and immediately got contacted by a scammer which follows the same MO, but this time on OLX. e.g tracking # first before payment clears.
See his info below and the scam mail for reference:

I'd send him a box filled with dirt, rocks and dog eggs

I mistakenly subscribed that number now to Gay men looking for discreet encounters, telkom fibre, outsurance, hippo, fnb account request, telkom landline request and narcotics anonymous.
Put up a phone for sale on Gumtree and MO was:
Needless to say, funds still have not reflected.
Silly season is fast approaching, stay safe people!
- Created urgency,
- Had bank accounts to pay from for all banks except mine,
- Sent his payslip,
- Sent his proof of address,
- Sent a POP
- "Buyers" name: Raymond Khoza
- Contact: 083 400 8163

This guy is currently trying to scam me. I placed a Wanted ad on Gumtree and he sent me photos of the item that he found on the internet.
Another one of those "urgency" cases. Sending me "?" if I don't reply immediately to his whatsapp messages. Also if I pay now he will go to Postnet before work tomorrow morning and send it right away.
+27648771821 064-877-1821
Truecaller shows: Hle (I will see if I can update that)
He claims to be Jacques de Coning from Hoedspruit
His scam banking account:
Bank : Tymebank
Savings acc : 5101****694
Branch : 678910 (lol. Seriously this is the Tymebank branch code)

...and the Gumtree scammers strike again.
Put an iPhone SE 128 GB on Gumtree on Friday evening, and less than two hours later, the first scammer contacted me with number 0632032439 / +27632032439.
Not a peep from him again.
Then yesterday, a certain Mark Schoeman ([email protected]) contacted me via SMS as well. His number is 0680574888 / +27680574888.
Of course, no further contact. It's really sad that they still try, because that means there are still people who fall for this.
