\u2019n Groep inwoners wat na verblyf in die Worcester-omgewing op soek is, is onlangs amper hul geld kwyt danksy \u2019n vermeende slenter.<\/p>\n
\u201cVerblyf is sekerlik die grootste uitdaging in hierdie dorp (Worcester), en as jy iets soos hierdie sien, raak jy dadelik opgewonde. Daai opgewondenheid kan ook baie vinnig in teleurstelling ontaard,\u201d vertel Matthew Broodryk aan Standard<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Broodryk, \u2019n inwoner van die dorp, vertel hoe hy onlangs amper R5 500 verloor het nadat hy \u2019n op \u2019n gewilde Facebook-groep \u2019n advertensie vir \u2019n tweeslaapkamerhuis in Worcester te huur gesien het.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie huis was perfek. Twee slaapkamers, twee badkamers, \u2019n groot leefruimte, tuin, kuierplek, braaiplek en dierevriendelik \u2013 alles vir R4 000 per maand. Die verhuurders het my ingelig dat hulle nie in daardie stadium in die dorp was nie, maar binnekort sou terugkeer. Ek wou verby die huis ry, maar hulle het allerhande stories gehad. Ek het dadelik die rooiligte gesien.\u201d<\/p>\n
Broodryk verduidelik die \u201cverhuurders\u201d het hom toe ingelig baie mense stel belang en wie ook al eerste die deposito van R5 500 betaal, sal die kontrak kry.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk is dadelik terug na die Facebook-groep en sien toe baie kommentaar van presies dieselfde kommunikasie. <\/p>\n
\u201cEen vrou het genoem dat sy die mense wat die advertensie geplaas het, weer wou kontak, maar sy is toe op WhatsApp geblok. Toe ek s\u00ea ek sal die deposito betaal sodra hulle terug is in die dorp en ek die plek fisiek gesien het, is ek ook geblok,\u201d verduidelik Broodryk.<\/p>\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner en belangstellende in die huis, Annette van der Merwe, het ges\u00ea sy het amper die geld oorbetaal.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy man het my dadelik gekeer om dit te doen. Ek wou net nie die plekkie verloor nie. Toe ek vir hulle s\u00ea ek is nie gemaklik nie, maar het wel die geld gereed, is ek ook geblok. Die ergste van alles is dat ons verlede jaar ook amper deur dieselfde soort slenter gevang is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Standard <\/i>het ook probeer uitreik na die mense wat die advertensie geplaas het en is dieselfde storie vertel. Standard <\/i>het verder probeer om hul kant van die storie te hoor, maar oproepe bly onbeantwoord en WhatsApp-boodskappe gaan nie deur nie. Die profiel op Facebook is ook gesluit en geen kontak kan met die adverteerder daarop gemaak word nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cHierdie leer \u2019n mens om eerder net weer doodseker te maak. As iets te goed is om waar te wees, dan is dit gewoonlik. Mense moet maar lig loop en op die uitkyk wees vir hierdie soort slenters,\u201d waarsku Broodryk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
