Die geld was ook nie in rekening betaal wat hy vir die besigheid gebruik het nie maar wel in sy persoonlike rekening n verdere wanvoorsteling. Die selnommer wat hy in sy korrespondensie gebruik is ook nie een van die besigheid se nommers,of vorige nommers van die besigheid,of die nommer wat hy persoonlik gebruik nie weereens n wanvoorstelling. <br /> <br />Hierdie persoon het nie slegs u bedrieg nie maar plaas ook Orange valley onder n swak lig en u is nie die enigste persoon wat hy benaadeel het nie.<br />Ek kan vir u niks ander se as dat indien dit u gelukkig gaan maak u maar na die sosiale media kan gaan nie. Umoet egter besef dat dit nie Orange Valley is wat u onder n wanvoorstelling geplaas het nie maar wel Mnr BM Arnott in persoon en hoop ek u prokureur kan u goeie raad gee, aangesien dit ook nie aanvaar sal word dat u Orange Valley Guest Farm se naam benadeel terwyl u kennis dra van die ware feite nie.<br />Ek hoop u verstaan die situasie nou beter<br />Groete Eben<br /> <br />From: Yahoo ********** <br />Sent: 21 December 2016 10:48 AM<br />To: ********** ********** ********** ********** ********** />Subject: Fw: Accommodation<br /> </p> <p>We reported it to the Police, (in Colesberg) According to them, it was the wrong Police Station, but that they would forward it to the correct Police Sation.
