Scam

Anonymous
2 years ago · May 10, 2023 at 06:59 PM SAST

Sells things via whatsapp groups and asks for ewallet as payment because she's apparently with Imvestec Bank. Gives a false address where you can view goods. Also forwards a msg from someone else saying they want the goods and will be prepared to transfer the cash straight away, to persuade you to buy the goods. The same msg goes to whoever wants to buy any of her goods.
