Is every courier collection a scam?

No. Scams abuse the idea. Legitimate buyers book known platforms and wait for cleared payment.

What should sellers demand?

Cash on collection, or cleared EFT in your own app before the item leaves.

Can the buyer book QikTruck?

Yes. The buyer pays for transport. You still confirm the item price has cleared before handover.

WhatsApp-only buyers?

Be extra careful. Prefer staying on the marketplace chat until payment is verified.

Is it a scam when a buyer says they will send a driver to collect?

It can be a scam when the buyer sends fake proof of payment and a stranger to collect before money reflects. A real transport booking is paid separately, with a named driver you can track. Never hand goods over on a screenshot.

Scam pattern to watch

Fake EFT SMS or PDF proof of payment
Urgency: driver arriving in the next hour
Pressure to hand over before money reflects in your bank app
Buyer never appears in person

Safer way to use a real driver

Sellers should wait until payment clears in their own banking app. Buyers who need a bakkie should book QikTruck themselves so the trip is tracked and the driver is vetted, not a random stranger sent with a fake POP.
