Unfortunately we were also scammed by Pure Vegan. I have managed to call Standard Bank and reported the account as having been involved in fraudulent activity. Standard Bank has reported they froze the account. Standard Bank has also advised that they require all those who have been scammed to obtain Police Affidavits, and to send these affidavits along with an email where you advise what transpired i.e. when you made the purchase, from what bank account, the amount, what you were purchasing, and any other details you deem necessary. If you have opened a case with SAPS, please may you advise on the case number. I contacted the web host who indicated that the best bet is to go through the banks and find the information of the account holder as banks have a more stringent FICA policy and process. However, if the SAPS issues a subpoena, they would be able to release the information they have of the person who purchased the domain, and who contacted them. If you were in contact with Sandra Zweig, this seems to be a fictional person. I am hoping that the more of us who team together we can catch these guys and hopefully recoup our money. Please, if you have been scammed by Pure Vegan, please please open a police case and obtain an affidavit and send it to Standard Bank.
