To catch a scammer

Bidorbuy.co.za says that, while opportunistic scammers are all a part of operating the online space, its security and filtering systems, and its user community, work in tandem to stop them at the door. more
 
By security and filter systems read Captchas. By user community read scammed people.
 
But, nobody reads the help pages on BoB since they are a bit hidden away.

You also get buyer scammers. They buy a product and tell you it does not work, or is not what they expected. Then they return it, sometimes just the box with newspaper inside, or minus the power supply, or missing parts and then report this as a SNC and request a refund. I have had a celestial telescope controller box returned with 2 paperback books in it, he wanted R 3800 back and when I refused, actually got a lawyer to write to me. I sent him photos of the two books (one had Happy Birthday Boetie written in it and the buyer was BoetieVJxxx). I asked BoB to ban him but he is still on there
