I paid R95 000 via eft to this firm's people to purchase a vehicle. I was given an address in Roodepoort where their company is. But to no avail. It does not excist apparently. Name & numbers : Alfred Thando ***. His apparent supervisor I only got number: Action Bargain vehicles *** & ***. Money has paid but the people & the vehicle is missing. They told to wait at a certian spot. Their driver will come to pick me up. I waited for 3 hours. Nothing. I have proof of payments & conversions on my phone

Good day Anton, Kindly note that our Company is SMD which consists of  12 different Branches Countrywide  and all Branches locations are on our website , see the link to view all our Branches and their location:
 https://www.smd.co.za/contact-us We have noted from the information that you have provided that this has nothing to do with SMD because SMD operate different from what you have explained, see below how SMD operate: How does SMD work?SMD is a company that auctions vehicles. We have two different types of auctions: Online daily sales and Branch auction (online live).Branch auction: Is an auction where you can participate online. This auction takes place in one day, You  login  with your registered credentials and join the live Auction. Online daily sales: Is an auction where clients only participate online. This auction have a start day and expiry day of the Auctioned Vehicles.  For you to pay us you should have registered a profile with us and have participated in one of above stated Auctions, because you will then receive an invoice that will direct  you how to make a payment , And we used the provided ID number and we are unable to locate an active profile from any SMD system , meaning you are currently not our Client. For one to be on our system , below steps should have been completed: Online Registration:Visit www.smd.co.za and click on Register, you will then be prompted to fill in all your details.
 The password will need to have a capital letter, a small letter as well as a number AND be at least 8 characters long. E.g. Paul1234 Please use the link below for final payment as per bid amounthttps://www.smd.co.za/Content/Documents/Auction_Calculator.pdf

SMD does not have the people you mentioned above  and we also do not have a Branch in Roodepoort which concludes that you have been ****med.

Kind Regards
SMD
