Shipping container industry in SA hit hard by fraud omny.fm/shows/capetalk/shipp… via @CapeTalk
Worth a listen to the end.
The shocking part is that many of these criminals are involved in all of the above #scams. Yet consumers have lost trust in authorities, further aggravating the problem. All that is needed is to look at the real situation. A plot of one group ... many open SAPS cases.
Prospective pet owners are equally at the mercy of #PetScams and #IDTheft, even blackmailed.

It may seem cheap in the US, does not translate globally. Consider a pensioner saving for solar, paying petrol for a generator, family security all out of necessity, supporting 4 people on a mediocre income, yet still scrounging pennies; hosting, domains to protect consumers? 🤔

Nobody would dare to presume as much. Said with greatest respect to you. South Africa's greatest failing is we don't have ten / a hundred like you to defend the vulnerable as a consumer champion. Quite happy to chat and show the full context the comment.
