Scam contentsMr Vuyo requested to buy 55 units of bedding from our Ecommere company for a total of R45 000 , being quick to reply and sending a proof of payment on the 16th of February 2024. When I tried to verify the Proof of Payment with Netbank, they said it looked fraudulent and they cannot confirm the validity. When I cocntacted the email address (at first not saying anything about the proof of payment) they were asking me when the order will be sent out. When I asked them about the proof of paymenet and the funds not reflecting in my account, all communication from their side stopped, no emails, no pickup on phone, etc etc.

It is also interesting to note, i was speaking with Mr Vuyo himself on his email, but the proof of payment was send on the same email but what looks to be a secretary named LEE ANNE NAIDOO. This name only appeared on the proof of payment email... since asking them to please explain what happend, i have not received any email or sms or call. Luckily we did not send out any products before we noticed it was a scam. The delivery address is a run down buidling located at 8 Vrede Street
Bellville
7530.

Going deeper into the order requirements the company Liberty CC t/a Vuyo and Sons Foundation cc sent us, we noticed several spelling mistakes and inconsistencies. The VAT number they provided does not come up on SARS.

Any businesses should be VERY weary of doing business with them.
