    Hi Neville,

    I am very sorry to hear about the scam. I can empathize with Margaret as we have had two such incidents happen to us last year. The first was for R12500.00 which they got away with and the second time we were a lot wiser or we would have been out of pocket to the tune of R35000.00. We do not release any goods unless the payment has reflected and confirmed by our bank.

    Happens to most of us i guess As is happens i been quite a good supporter of bid or buy, been a buyer for a few years now i have yet to come across a seller that actually asks for a proof of payment, normally they just let the buyer know that as soon as the cash reflects in their account and clears, then the goods will be released.

    Fantastic. Glad it all ended so well. Your wife must be very relieved.

    Kudos to the police services for their efficient work.

    Nev, nice to hear about a good ending to a bad experience! I think we've all learned a lot from this scenario. And well done to the Berea cops for sterling work!!
