Golf cart scam by Exoticcarts.net

Beware of a company pretending to sell golf carts on the Internet at website exoticcarts.net. It is a scam, there is no such business! Once you have selected a golf cart (all priced at about R45 000), you receive an e-mail with an invoice from somebody called John Stuart, giving an address at 3 Voortrekker Street Springbok, tel number 021 813 9174. There is no such a business in Springbok! Also the dialling code is for Cape Town. Once you have paid the invoice, you will receive an e-mail from Direct Post Destination Courier Services, billing you for R19 500 insurance to transport your golf cart to your address. Both companies have accounts at African Bank, even though African Bank doesn't have any business accounts, only private accounts. Neither the golf cart supplier nor the courier company are real, it is an Internet based scam to steal your money. If you have been scammed, I suggest you immediately open fraud cases with the SAPS and your bank.
