FYI - this ad was posted today on OLX

I called to see if this was genuine or one of those 2 good to be true kind of deal/scam, guy sounded legit untill he asked for a R1000 deposit to secure the purchase as a lot of people are interested but he didnt want to give EFT / banking details only CASH SEND to an ATM ...dont fall for this...

I'm sure a few people have already


Easy money for these scammers

CashSend or whatever to an ATM is the modernized version of the Western Union payment option. I have NEVER come across a legit seller that doesn't accept EFT.

Closest I come was some years ago when I told someone some PC games (before STEAM and all that), the guy agreed to pay cash, when I got to his place he asked if he could do EFT, I said NO, as I was already there with the products, so he begrudgingly gave me a pile of R10 notes. He even tried to negotiate the agreed price even further down...
