******** USING STANDARD BANK ACCOUNT AND EASILY GETTING AWAY WITH IT

After reading reviews on Transactional / EFT *****, I am yet to find out how Standard Bank can still keep bank accounts of alleged ******** open. I was ****med by a company named CMT Auto Group based in Durban, KZN. I saw a sponsored advert on Facebook where the company was selling cars. Obviously I did my due diligence and checked out the company. The company is well registered with the CIPC however it is registered as City Motors and apparently is trading as CMT Auto Group, which is a car dealership. Their website looked valid, and they also had a working landline. Their address is 135 Anton Lembede Street, Durban, KZN, 4001. I so trusted these guys after getting all this information on them. They sent me a contract which was really valid as I am a final year law student and know my way around contracts/agreements.

The car delivery was scheduled for Tuesday, 16 June 2020. I got a call from their driver at 12:29 saying the truck broke down and he has to deliver 2 more cars. He said he needs R7000 to hire another truck as it is a holiday and the company cannot release another truck. The other client allgedly paid R3500 and I also have to pay R3500 towards the hiring of another truck. To cut the story short, the consultant who was assisting me named Clinton Willemse is now not answering my calls and WhatsApp messages. I am devastated and yes I know I acted out of ignorance as I was excited about owning a car for the first time. I learnt my lesson and I am so hoping that Standard Bank can assist me to get my money back.

I have sent the supporting documents including an Affidavit with the case number from SAPS to the Transactional ***** email address.

Be careful guys, I lost R10 000 in a blink of an eye.
