BANKREPO AUCTIONEERS SELF PROFESSED SCAMMERS

I would like to make everyone aware of a company that are selling vehicles on gumtree. They are called Bankrepo Auctioneers https://bankrepoauctioneers.co.za/

My father in law contacted them regarding a vehicle they had on gumtree. They said it was a bank repossessed vehicle which they try sell before putting onto auction. They are based in Gauteng. Half the amount of the vehicle is put down as a deposit. The car is then brought to Durban on a flatbed truck. The buyer is then given 2 hours to inspect, assess and drive the car. If happy the balance of the money is paid and the car and log book are handed over.

Obviously before putting any money down, my father and mother in law investigated these people and as you can see above, they have a very professional website. No complaints on hello peter etc. He dealt with a Simpiwe Twala. He paid a deposit on a vehicle yesterday morning. At 9.30pm a man name Gary called from the company requesting an additional R20000. When my father in law refused reminding him what had been previouly communicated to him, Gary turned around and said "SCAM SCAM SCAM" hanging up the call.

A case has been opened with SAPS, however, I wanted to share in the hopes this doesn't happen to anyone else. They also pay for these Gumtree ads to be shown more often etc, so there is a well-oiled scam business happening here.
