Scam
Beware of a scammer operating on FB Marketplace. Name is J P Duncan (Jono). Modus operandi - Has been listing a car trailer for 1250 dollars stating it has a current registration & current wof. I visited his address in West Auckland & found the trailer didn't have a wof. The person said he would get the wof done within 3 days & he would hold the trailer if I gave him a deposit. So I gave him a deposit of $400 (bank transfer). Ever since then he has refused to get the wof done giving some excuse or another & has now stopped answering text messages & calls. Also, he has moved out of the property with no forwarding address. He called once & threatened me saying his old man is a gang member, he is a martial arts expert & has anger issues. Wanted my address to come & return my money. No sign now of the guy & the trailer. Can't tell how many others this guy has ripped off. The trailer number is - P676F. Have his phone number & bank account details. He said he did fencing & decking in West Auckland.
