Some of our users have come across a scam which seems to be originating in the city of Klerksdorp in the North West Province.
How the scam works: A scammer claiming to be from Namibia / Botswana will contact a person selling his / her vehicle. The scammer will normally respond to the advert in well spoken Afrikaans. They’ll allege that they are working as a driver / in another position for a diamond mine in Botswana / Namibia. In some cases they will ask for airtime so they can make long distance calls to Namibia / Botswana. They’ll seem very eager to purchase the seller’s vehicle. The scammer will request that the person drive to Klerksdorp in the North West province so that the sales deal can be done for the vehicle. In some cases the seller will be requested to drive to Klerksdorp with a different vehicle. Once the seller arrives in Klerksdorp the scammer will claim that he needs to complete a diamond deal with a diamond buyer in order to complete the sales deal of the vehicle. The scammers will either conjure the seller to pay an amount to complete the diamond deal, attempt to hijack the seller if he / she arrives in Klerksdorp or engage in other suspicious activities. Various versions of this scam exist.
How to avoid this scam: Don’t buy airtime for any potential buyer. Don’t arrange to pay money into their account for petrol money to drive to your chosen meeting point. The more complicated the story told by the potential buyer the more likely its a scam. Don’t fall for this scam. Sell your item on your terms, not on a potential buyer’s terms.
If you have been a victim of this: Report this matter to the SAPS and please provide us with a full account of what happened. Please include the phone numbers involved in the scam. Contact our Customer Care department on 012-3423840 x2295 / via e-mail at ccc@junkmail.co.za
Please note: This scam is highly adaptable and scamsters are able to do this from any location. There have been recent developments that indicate that this type of scam has also been found in Vereeniging.
Remember! If something sounds to good to be true it usually is not true. Be Smart! Be Savvy! Be Safe

Same guys trying this sunt with me called asked to send airtime so he could speak to his wife in Namibia about to transfer the money to me. Sounds like bull to me a guy wants to pay you 50 000 for a vechile but can’t even get his own airtime? Do these people think we are stupid or something.. One called named Simon phoned from a private number other called Daniel 078 547 0808. Very well spoken in afrikaans. Simon asked me to drive to vereeniging told him it sounds like a set up for a high jacking and to F-OFF. Then yesterday Daniel not related to Simon apperently in Witbank at the moment asked me to drive to Witbank told him he can go fly a kite as well. After reading the rest of the comments here I dont want to hear from these guys again.Riaan sorry to hear about your experience these idiots should be behind bars already why are the SAPS so up to crap I phoned Rosebank station this morning to report it they told me I dont need to phone them I must go to another police station??? So much for fighting crime??
Dave, I agree with you. These guys should be behind bars without a doubt. Working with people now who are comitted in assisting me with regards to what happened, as the SAPS has been pathetic thus far. But unfortunately no luck as yet. Are you from Rosebank Dave? And did Simon want you to drive from Rosebank to Vereeniging? Thanks.
I live in Pretoria the guys have phoned non stop trying this stunt using all sort of names and stories asking for airtime. I reported it Rosebank after reading your articale thinking that there might be someone there that would actaully help or might be busy with the case. I kept all the numbers and sent it to the police. Simon wanted me to drive to Vereeniging and Elvis wanted me to drive to Witbank. Then Daniel then John so many names I cant recall anymore one guy wanted me to drive to Klerksdorp. The SAPS are useless in this regard even reported it to Crimeline to tell them what these okes are planning and no luck there either and even gave them a written out plan on how they could corner these okes. The important thing to rember when your selling something is to do it your way. Its yours you paid for it if you want to sell it do it on your terms. Dont fall for people stupid things and plans I have never met an oke that will pay R50000 for a bike but does not have airtime to phone you.I am not buying airtime and the one guy stripped his moer when I told him that if he cant afford to buy his own airtime he should not waste my time. What we need to do to stop this is some policeman that actaully do their bloody jobs and not tell you to F off to the next station cause its not in their area. I bet you that can phone the SAPS tell them your going to rob a house bank or nick a car tell them when and where and they still wont catch you. Here you have a situtation where they can catch the bastards on the spot. Or they can trace the numbers back to who owns them cause they are probably stolen as well and what the hell happend to RICA we all needed to get our phones RICA´D for what so they can find me if I dont pay a speed fine but they cant catch these idiots amazing how we have all the technology in the world at our doorstep but the police not using it they can track these guys using thier phone numbers to the exact street I know cause my brother works for a company that makes tracking units for cars It uses a sim card to pin point a stolen cars location. But oh no wait its too much work. Why the hell do we pay tax then to pay their salaries would for doing what driving around sceeming with their tjommies on how corrupt they can be but hey we had Selebi setting the example….
Same happened to us. Guys name was Tamatie @ 071 052 5348. Where is the RICA act?????????

Thank you for the warning!! The guy from 078 870 1700 just called me with his Namibia story.
Thanks for letting us know Paul
If you have any other details, please contact our Customer Care department via ccc@junkmail.co.za
Thsi scammed happened to me today. The numbers used were 071-026-486 and 071-736-0687. The guys name was Moses, also from Namibia. The house is very close to Royal Bafokeng stadium.
Luckily I saw through the scam after being taken to the “buyer” of the diamonds, but besides that I’m selling my casr because I need the money, so nothing to steal from me!
Hi Coen, please forward us all the details to ccc@junkmail.co.za and provide us with an account of what happened. Thanks for reporting this to us.
Looks like this same Moses from Namibia is still in action and also with the following cell number 071-736-0687.
Just got a call from him asking me to meet him in Rustenburg so that he can buy the vehicle I advertised and then asking me to send him R180 worth of MTN airtime so that he can call his wife in Namibia so that she can arrange for payment from that side.
Hi Riaan – Please forward all this information to our Customer Care Department. You can reach them via ccc@junkmail.co.za
This guy, number 0717360687, beware people. Highly dangerous, asked me to come to rustenburg and needs car urgently. says he will pay cash into bank account, when you get there they target you and have followers to bank to hijack you. I told cops before hand and guess what they never rocked up the cops. I got away.
Hi Jay – Thanks for all your comments. Please forward us all the details of these persons and an account of what happened. Please contact our Customer Care Department via on e-mail via ccc@junkmail.co.za
Hi there,
Same thing happened to us. We posted an ad on Gumtree for our car and immediately got a call from this guy. He said his name was Thomas and he was a truck driver from Namibia. He said he saw the pics of the car and would pay cash but will only take the car in 10 days. He asked us to drive to Cape Town Airport Industria to show him the car. Fortunately, we called a car dealer friend to find out if it was safe and were advised against it. The call I received was from this number 0835936688. I was suspicious of the guy because he said he had run out of airtime and if I could call him back
Anyways, all good and I am grateful that I did not take the bate.
Please warn the car sellers on Gumtree. I tried to find a way to contact Gumtree so they could put some form of warning but could not figure it out. I am especially worried about all those who urgently need to sell their cars as they might fall for this trap. Thanks for sharing this as up until now I was not quite sure how this scam worked.
Hi Lucy – Junk Mail is not affiliated with Gumtree, you’ll have to contact directly so they can warn their users.
I am on my way to meet a guy this morning, same story than above, is there a police case opened where I can phone please. I would like to have a police officer escorting me with the deal so they can catch this guy.
Hi there Juanita.
Where would they like to meet with you?
You can contact Karen Nel on (011) 278-8110.
Please let me know how things went.
Thanks.
Went to Rustenburg yesterday straight to the crime prevention unit spoke to a captain who then phoned this Elvis, as per the captain they cannot just arrest this person as this person first needs to commit a crime unless I have case numbers where is already a suspect, so I ended up not meeting this Elvis guy.
Elvis promised to meet us at the captains office as he is not now in Rustenburg will be there in 2 hours and he told the captain that 2 minutes before he spoke to my husband to wanna find out how close we are to Rustenburg as he is waiting in Rustenburg.
If only the cops or a detective could have played along but yeah law is law?
Have tried calling Karen just after 12 noon phone just ran.
Hi the police are useless, when i contacted them they said they cant do anything until they see them or have people identifying them doing something wrong. too many con artists out there. The main thing, dont let buyers negotiate to you there terms, you tell them when and where you will meet.
These guys are still in Vereeniging. Wanted me to pick him up and go to the bank. I almost did but left quickly and went to the bank. I phoned him and he was cross because I left. I wanted us to meet at a police station and he was scared that the police would enquire about this big amount in cash. He never pitched at the bank as he “did not trust me anymore”.
Same story:
1) Junk Mail advert
2) Wants to purchase without seeing vehicle
3) Wants you to come to him with a different vehicle due to mileage concern
4) You must keep the vehicle for him for 2 weeks
5) Will pay cash
6) You must meet him somewhere to go to the bank together and thereafter police station
7) Very persuasive – I shrugged him off at first but he kept calling.
8) Names used: Enoch, Simon, Thomas, Timothy
9) Number used: 078 244 5378
Thanks for your feedback Gotcha. We will be forwarding this information to our SAPS contact for further investigation
I also got a call from a few guys this week from ‘Namibia’ trying a similar scam… wanting me to bring my car to Rustenburg. He calls himself September & his cell number is 0782371256
Thanks Ziyaad
Please forward our Customer Care department these details via ccc@junkmail.co.za so we can follow up on this 
I received a call. Guy says he’s Emmanuel. I must meet him in Southgate, says I must be sure that I want to sell my car as if he likes it he will transfer money into my account, money isn’t a problem. Does this sound right, this is really getting out of hand where must we sell our cars! His nr is 0783180022 has any one of u received a call from this nr? It seems from the prev messsage that they use MTN nrs and 071 nrs had a missed call from that number.
Hi Annnonymous – Thanks for letting us know about this. If this sounds dodgy to you, don’t go through with the deal. Remember to sell your item on your terms, not on someone else’s. If something sounds like a scam, it’s most likely a scam. Please report this to our Customer Care Department via ccc@junkmail.co.za
Hi, this happend to me today, same story as above, driver form Namibia working for de Beers, name Timothy. He wanted me to meet him in Vereeninging but after reading all this on Thursday I just new this is the same guy. I told him there is no way Im driving to vereeniging so the phone went dead. He phoned me from phone nr 078 248 5401. Hope for his part he does not phone back tomorrow because he is going to get a peace of mind from me and I think I will delete my add from Junk Mail and keep the car for my son instead.

Hi Johan, I have just also almost been scammed by someone claiming to be Nelson from Namibia. Cell no. 073-786-3838. He claims his wifes name is Melissa, and her number is
073-880-2359. I am selling a boat, so they are not only scamming sellers of motorcars. Be careful.
Thanks for sharing this with our users John!
Same person tried to con. me too today. Said he is Nelson from Namibia (read Riaans story- exactly the same ) I was to meet him in Rustenburg etc etc. If I had more time on my hands I would love to trap this scumbag. His current number is 073 786 3838. or his wife ?? Melisa 073 880 2359. If I were a cop I would have him locked up within 48 hrs! the SAPS are disgusting. this armed robber is laughing at them. GGRRRR!
Thanks for sharing these details John
This has happened twice to me in the last 3 months. Same guys same story, both times I told them to go whistle. First time was in November 2012 and again yesterday, I was selling two different cars. Why is the SAPS allowing this to go on for so long? Are they really that useless! Scammer details: Name: Thomas / Number: 0838855700
Thanks for sharing these details with us Smith
Let’s hope the SAPS catch these okes sometime in the near future!
Hi guys. My husband was just scammed by a guy named Nelson. he ask him to come to Rustenburg to buy his boat. he also asked him for R120.00 airtime, so that he can phone a guy for the money to be picked up. I got suspicion and ran an internet search for scams in Rustenburg and came across your comment. Thanks for reporting all the above, he is save now, and out of direct danger.

Hi my husband is also driving back from a close call whith the same guys. A Fanie September speaking fluent Afrikaans phoned us last night and said he is very interested in our car and he want to buy it tomorrow. My husband has to come to Rustenburg ( we are in Middelburg about 3hours drive away). There in Rustenburg Absa will he pay our full asking price plus R2000 for our inconvenience to drive so far. He also said he must not drive with the car for sale as he does not want the mileage to go up.
He said he is a trucking company boss driving his own truck, and has to go to Namibia for 10 days and could only fetch the car when he is back.
He said after the full payment is deposited in my husband’s account they must go to the police station and draw up a contract to state that my husband must bring the car to him in 10 days.
My husband agreed abd travelled the 3h drive this morning. When he got to the absa he phoned Fanie and Fanie said he does not have taxi money and could he pick him up at a stadium. He went there and waited for him. When he finally came Fanie said he must first do another deal before he has the money and could he drive him there. They went into the township to a shack. My husband said he would wait in the car while he does his business, but Fanie persuaded him to come in with him. He said, moenie bang wees nie jys veilig by Fanie. Jys mos nou by Fanie, jys nie in gevaar nie.
In the shack sat a muslim guy behind a table and showed my husband suitcases full of money and there was a bag of diamonds on the table. Fanie and the muslim agreed on a price for other diamonds still to be collected. Then my husband had to drive Fanie to a few Angolese men who had the diamonds. Fanie then said, he told them that my husband was his partner and asked my hubby to speak to the angolese since his english is better. So he got my hubby to do the negotiations for the deal. They then said yhey do noy want to let the diamonds go without payment or some sort of security. Fanie said he had R15000 in his truck but could mot use that as that was his fuel money to go back to namibia.
They asked my hubby to give them money but he had nothing on him. They then asked him if he could not drive to a atm and draw money
Thanks for sharing this with us
Hi guys, same thing here, with scammer wanting me to go to rustenburg. Neels with number: 083 770 2608
Thanks for sharing this information Ed
A similar version is this happened to yesterday. A person claiming to be a truck driver from Namibia contacted me offering cash for my vehicle (without even wanting to view the car). He proposed we meet somewhere (I could even leave the car at home and bring another one as to not incresae the mileage), then go to a police station so we could sign an affidavid for the sale after which we would go to a bank, draw the funds in cash and give it to me.
He would then leave the car with me until his return to South Africa in 2 weeks to collect it as he cannot drive the car home now (due to being in SA on business, driving a truck). I was very suspicious about this and offered to rather keep the car for him without payment until his return in 2 weeks as I am not in a rush to sell it. He then got very aggresive with me, swore and hung up. He tried to contact me again today but I have ignored his calls due to information seen on the internet about this scam or similar versions.
Thank you for reporting this to us. Please forward us this person’s details to ccc@junkmail.co.za
Yes, it happened to us today. We travelled all the way from White river to Klerkdorp, to sell our vehicle.
Luckily we did not have any money on us, and my husband kept his cool not to render our last cash on hand.
There were 3 players:
Nicolas, the man that wanted to buy my vehicle. He said he is a driver for De beer in Oranjemond, Namibia. He said that he wants to pay for car today, and we have to keep it for 2 weeks, he will come fetch in White River. He even offered to pay us R800 for diesel and toll gates. Very well spoken in Afrikaans.
The street dealer, Domingo. He had the diamonds.
And then the business man, don’t know his name. He had R940 000 cash with him….
Luckily we came loose, unhurt, but on our way back Nicolas’ brother phoned, Daniel, also said he wants to buy our vehicle. But we need to send him airtime to phone his wife in Namibia. We said NO.
The phone numbers: Nicolas 078 787 4055, The business man 071 519 2305, Daniel 078 793 2001
The business man’s house was at corner of Landsberg ave and Omar Khayam ave.
I just praise God that we are safe!
A person with the name Elvis contacted me with a similar storie wanting me to travel to Rustenburg i know this is a scam coz i went to see other people on saturday with the same story thank god i left during the whole deal when the people requested i pay money as deposit i told the guy to get out and i left..0833297784 and 0737899996
Elvis is busy with a scam with me – phoned me today – sounded a bit shaky – so I googled for scams like this – Elvis from Namibia, working for De Beers bla bla bla.
So if anyone can help to report this now – the number he phoned me from is 078 589 7551
He wants to meet me in Vereeniging tommorow.
We have experienced exactly the same situation today. My husband advertised his car online and this guy contacted us with exactly the same story. His phone number is 0729866522. fORTUNATLEY, we did not drive to Klerksdorp and decided to research this whole situation. PLEASE do not respond to any guy like this
Working from Vereeninging now, tried to scam us on the 26th of November 2010. scar faced black, gold front teeth, about 40 years old, well spoken Afrikaans, accomplice around 45 years old, fat black guy, spoke about diamond deals and wanted to go get the rest of the his money from a jeweller Numbers used; 071 422 4816, 078 793 2001 – now goes by the name David Kongo – Beware of this scum bag!!
This scam happened to us but luckely we were one up on them when my husband got to Witbank with the car he went straight to the police department and told them about the “potential” buyer they were followed and then trapped by the police I don’t know if anything came of the case but they were immediately arrested and we still have our car
Watch out for Nelson from Randfontein – phone no 0735892264 – very dodgy – you have been warned
Sounds like you all got off relatively light, I was not so lucky.
I was contacted on Monday 2011/10/10 with regards to a motorbike that I advertised on Junkmail. The guy who phoned me identified himself as Patrick. He asked about the bike seemingly very interested in the bike, and asked whether he could pay a deposit for the bike and if I will provide him with the details of my account into which the deposit needs to be paid in.
Later on Monday Patrick decided to give me a call again and asked whether I would rather meet with him at Wimpy in Randfontein, so that we could negotiate the price, and said that if we finished negotiating the price, he would provide me with the deposit or even the full amount if he is happy with the asking price. He said we could then go to the bank so that he can withdraw the money to pay for the bike, and then go to the police station to sign an affadavit to confirm that I sold my bike to him, and he will then collect it again in 2 weeks time. He said he can only get the bike in two weeks time as he does not have any space on his truck at the moment as he is a driver for De Beers between Namibia and South Africa. Patrick even asked me to take photos with my phone as proof that I did in fact have a bike which I wanted to sell.
I agreed to meet with Patrick as he seemed extremely interested in the bike. Once again confirming the time (09:00) at Wimpy in Randfontein. 09:00am came and went, I waited a while inside Wimpy and a while outside Wimpy, still no Patrick….Patrick phoned me (from another number as used previously) and he reassured me that he is on his way….I waited until about 09:40 when I decided to get into my car and leave…as I got into my car I phoned Patrick for the last time as I wanted to tell him I cannot wait anymore and that I need to leave, the phone started ringing but as it rang a man approached my car holding his cellphone in the air and indicating to me that it is him – Patrick.
Instead of going to Wimpy he apologised that he is late, and said he will chat to me quickly and not waste my time in the car. He got into my car (very neatly dressed and well spoken in Afrikaans). I showed him the photos of the bike in the car and he said he likes it very much and will take it, but first he needs to collect his money from a friend of his to deposit into my account. I refused to take him to his friend upon which he took out a firearm and pointed it towards my ribs.
He then said he’s got all my personal details, he knows how much money is in my bank account, that he knows where my family as well as girlfriend (even knowing her name) reside and if I do not provide him with cash he will leave me in Randfontein without any belongings and use my car to go after my loved ones.
As you could imagine, from there on in I can’t recall all the details except that he demanded at least R40 000 and that if I stay in the bank (Standard Bank – Randfontein) for longer than 10 minutes he will once again leave me there and go after my loved ones.
I drew the cash (R42000) and got back into my car after which he said I must turn my car around and drive a couple of meters where he got out and left as if nothing just happened.
I phoned the number on Wednesday or Thursday (cant recall) from which he contacted me earlier in the morning and he apologised (in Afrikaans) that he had to do what he did (rob me of R42000) on Tuesday morning, for his Diamond Business.
I received a sms yesterday that stated “Domingo” wants to talk to me, and if I want my money back I need to sell his other “stuff” for him. Then I received a call from a cellphone number that I am not familiar with on Thursday afternoon, the man identified himself as Domingo and asked me where my friend Patrick is. I told him I do not know what he is talking about or why he is phoning me. He then started threatening me saying that he too has all my details.
So, I was robbed at gunpoint of R42000 and receive dodgy calls threatening me now, this all for just wanting to sell my bike.
I reported this at the Rosebank police station (as this is where I work) on Tuesday at about 14:00 as I was still in shock and traumitised of what happened earlier the morning. To make matters worse I even had problems with my car and a flat tyre on my way back from Randfontein to Rosebank.
I am waiting for a response (since Tuesday) from the police. Will try and keep you all updated.
Anyone with more information, please come forward so that we can catch these crooks and get them behind bars!
Thank you.
About 2 months ago, I received a call from someone called Joseph.He said he was from Namibia and worked as a truck driver for De beers Mine in Orangimund. He wanted me to meet him in Vereeniging so that he could give me the money for the vehicle.. I would then have to keep the car for him for two weeks until he returned to fetch it.I told him I was in Kroonstad and it was a bit too far for me to travel. Last week Friday, I received another call from the same person, and we agreed to meet at Wolmarandstad ‘s KFC outlet. I I phoned him to tell him I was waiting for him at KFC, and he said he was feeling a bit tired and was resting at a nearby Guest house, so he will send his assistant driver to come fetch me. He asked me what car was I driving, colour etc. I told him if he is not coming by himself then I don’t want to talk to anyone.Another call came in, It was the assistant driver asking me where I had parked my car . I told him to get lost. I left Wolmarandstad havivg survived another possible hijack,robbery etc.
Joseph ‘s number is 0788701700
Hi Riaan, i just want to find out if there were any police busts involved with your scam as i was caught by exactly the same guys (Domingo/Guy from Namibia etc). I am taking this story to Carte Blanche and just wanted to find out if you could give me some more details on how they caught you ? These people made my life a mess and im not leaving this here.
Really sorry to hear your loss. The same guys tried me and just wish the cops will catch these guys. How much more info do they need.
Hi there. Please provide me with your email address, and then I will be able to provide you with all the necessary details. Thank you
Timothy phoned me today from phone nr 078 248 5401. He will phone back again tomorrow. This scam it seems has been going on since 2010 if not longer. They have to be caught!!!
My email is jverstersa@gmail.com
Thanks for your feedback Anonymous
Sounded a bit suspect so I Googled it and came across this website. Person by the name of Mike contacted me telling me to meet him in Vereeniging to do the deal without even seeing the car. He said we will go to the bank first and then go to the police station to do an affidavit. After reading this post I will not be wasting my time. His number is 083 770 2608
Hi Johan – Glad that you found our warning before you acted on the proposed deal
Spread the word about this so people are aware of this scam!
