Ad ID 162111703

THIS IS A SCAM.

BEWARE

Hi All,

I have been scammed. The false AD ID's are 161645382 and 162111703 it is for a holiday home in Margate. I made an enquiry, then received pics saying that the dates I was interested in were available. I thereafter made a payment of R1000.00 into an ABSA account linked to this guy's cell number.

I am a naturally suspicious person and never thought I would be scammed. PLEASE BEWARE. It feels terrible to be scammed. If a person uses an untraceable number (Cellphone number) and a random email address (Yahoo, Hotmail etc.) be extra careful.

This scammer goes by the name of Louwrens Roux, cell number is 0730866536. His email address is louwrensroux@yahoo.com and he has gone to considerable trouble to make his offering seem legit. Take it from me though it’s a scam.

He called me about five times yesterday and the day before and was very prompt in his responses. Since the moment I made a deposit into his account he has not been in touch. I called him about six times today and tried e-mailing him, all to no effect. He has disappeared.

I feel like an idiot.

Dear All

I can confirm that this is a scam. The same poster uses a different name but the same cell phone number for a variety of other ads. He has an ad for luxury accomodation in Langebaan at an unbelievable rate. This is part of the attraction with which he snares people. The modus operandi is the same with the Margate ad. He lets you know that your preferred dates are available and then sends you pics of an absolute mansion. The deposit is also an unbelievable R1000 only. Here again the same modus as with Margate. He will advise that the daily rate can be cut if you do the deposit via ABSA. Please be careful and remember the old adage " If it seems to good to be true IT PROBABLY IS"! I would call on anybody that has fallen victim to this to notify the authorities including your provincial Consumer Protector's Office.
