The Real Scam

Loading player...
Its time to talk about scams, romance, financial and banking scams. Sim Swaps and the subject makes all our hair stand on end! Louis Nel, known as Louis the Lawyer, comes in to chat to us about this new scourge of online scams. Lee talks to us openly from Cape Town about her mom who was involved with a romance scam and what it did to their family. Susan Harnett joins the conversation with Geniene Preston and Sakkie Scoltz from the SA Business Centre and Chris Ndlovu from Boyang Gape Tours, and the discussion turns to business scams and how to book tours and avoid losing deposits. We include an insert from AARP in the USA, the Real Scam with Bob Sullivan and he talks to a victim of a sim swap scam. Its time to be very careful.
