Scam Website posing as bidorbuy

[qball 11]

Hi All

Please be aware that scammers are using adverts on sites such as Gumtree to lure buyers to poorly copied web pages posing as bidorbuy.co.za.

 

 

Here is one link, hosted by Altervista.

This is a SCAM website, please do not be fooled by it and do not proceed with any purchases.

Wow, had a look and that is rather disturbing. Any advice for newbies to help them avoid scam sites such as your example?

The first thing is always check the URL - if it does not say http://www.bidorbuy.co.za, then it's not us.

We have managed to get the site taken down!
