jannie9214 = SCAMMER AND THIEF!!!

[Danette Stoop 10]

I bought and paid for an item with this seller and paid through bobPay. 2 days later already I sent an email to BoB asking them to not release my money to the seller as I suspect something is wrong - nobody replied to this! If maybe this was taken seriously I would not be in the position of now having to go and open a case of theft against this seller and being scammed out of R3000!

 

I was told by the contact centre to go and open a case at the police station and that the investigating officer should contact BoB for the sellers personal details. How am I supposed to open a case of theft against someone with a "username" and cellphone number that's never answered?

Hi Danette,

 

Please send me the email address that you used to send the email to bidorbuy in a PM. I can not find any emails on the system, with the email address that you registered on your account, about this. The only email received from you was when you reported a different item on 24 June.

 

In order to get the sellers registered details, please send an email to communitywatch@bidorbuy.co.za the only details that need to be subpoenaed is the sellers banking details.

 

Thank you.

Hi Andries

 

bidorbuy.co.za Contact Us Wizard - this is the link I used and then I think I chose the "I have another Query" option. No actual e-mail address was used, only your links on the "contact us" page. On Monday 20 June around 10:30 I also left a message via the link "Spot a problem? Notify Community Watch" because I noticed that the seller is selling another 5 phones (ad removed the next day) with the comments "5 in stock ready to be shipped" but he can't even supply me with a tracking number. I also sent an e-mail to Jaco Jonker this morning and Razaak did phone me and said that he will supply all information to me on Monday as your security department is closed on Saturday. I am upset because I did notify BoB that their might me a problem on the 17th and they still paid over the funds to him on the 21st???

This is one of the 2 replies I got, the other one I must have deleted as I cannot find it in my e-mail.

 

I did open a case of fraud at the police station this morning and truly hope that this matter will be resolved soon.

Hi Danette

 

Thank you for sending this, however, I must note, this ticket relates to an item belonging to another seller regarding this item -

Blackberry - blackberry 8900 used for sale in Pretoria / Tshwane (ID:39299625)

 

It does not mention anything about the issue regarding the seller Jannie9214.

 

Kind regards

The 3 negatives given to this seller were all from bidders on the same item ... more victims out there.

We have been informed by Danette that the seller has been contacted by the police and will be shipping the goods off. We do apologise for not receiving your email, it appears we had a technical issue with our Helpdesk and emails so the mail was not received, we do sincerely apologise for this. Please confirm when you receive the goods.
