More about the incident:

Had it on social media for sale, got a buyer interested, buyer sent fake SMS, I asked for proof of payment, received proof of payment, looked legit so I let the bike go. His "driver" collected the bike. Phoned his bank to check if transaction was legit, it was not. The so called driver then told me the buyer didn't pay him for the transport and wants to bring the bike back but at a fee of R1200. I asked for a video as proof of possession. Received a video but was definitely not from the driver. I've opened a case at SAPS
