You can't keep track of this man. ESA used to ban scammers and it was against policy to Photoshop back ilwjen it was building credibility but that's long gone so no one to do that work. The scammers just keep coming back with new profiles so sharing a link doesn't help when she puts a new ad on immediately after being mentioned and they also switch them off immediately after a scam so the guys can't mention her or he'll get banned for freeloading.

You gotta build your own data bank, memory bank and a punter network so at least you can reference that or your fellow punters can warn you when you enquire about a prospective punt.

I've had scammers from two different numbers over this weekend. Their modus is to have a SAPS display picture on their whatsapp profile and they even go through the bother of changing the name on TrueCaller to "SAPS" or "John Tshabalala".

It is an extortion scam where they say that your phone number has come up in a sex trafficking ring and your are under investigation and demand hush money. They try to "interview" you via WhatsApp and attempt to use social engineering to manipulate you out of your personal information using the supposed leverage. They send you fictitious documents via whatsapp.It is a common scam and they seem to be very desperate.

I would not be surprised if some venues are in on it or facilitate the movement of client cell numbers.

SAPS will never communicate with you via Whatsapp.
