More about scam artists.
Be very careful about receiving random call especially when the person says they are from "Cash is King", Cash Converters or any pawn shop.
Today I was phoned by a Cynthia of "Cash is King" shop in Randburg, saying she had seen my ad on OLX and wanted to see the ring, but as she didn't have a car could I bring the ring around.
I immediately suspected a scam and said I would bring the ring later.
When I went out I dropped by the shop and showed her the ring, she then proceeds to weigh it and then takes a 5X magnifying glass to look at the ring and then decides she will pay pawn for it of R1 800. I said to her I am selling the ring and I want R6000 for said ring.
She then proceeds to take photos of the ring and sends them to her boss in Joburg who then says they will pay R2000.
I said I was very angry with her dragging me out under false pretences and wasting my time. If I wanted to pawn the ring I would have done so. I wanted to sell it which is why it is advertised on OLX.
