******** AND *********

I advertised my furniture on gumtree yesterday and 15 min later a foreign black man named S.EUGENE MZOLO cell no +***3 contacted me on my phone and sent me a ********** ABSA BANK PROOF OF PAYMENT . (which I verified with Absa) On the PROOF of payment the amount was more than the goods I advertised he then demanded me to pay him back the excess money via a "send cash " app from Capitec Bank immediately as he made a mistake I immediately realized it was a ******** AND ********* when he realised I was onto him he stopped harassing me Gumtree should do something about these people
