See that 4 prisoners will appear in court for the phone scams where they phone punters pretending to be cops and telling them that they are investigating rape cases against the punter. Apology that this article is in Afrikaans maroelamedia.co.za/nuus/sa-nuus/gevangenes-glo-deel-van-uitbuitery-vanuit-tronk/

Nice to see some real action for a change. Im amazed at the amounts of money involved. Obviously many more shady characters involved.

and they doing it from prison

Wow, R760 000. Never thought they would succeed. Bastards. Hope they arrest the girls that sold their numbers as well. That will teach them a lesson.

Good riddens to bad rubbish...

All those phones that had been confiscated, will end up being investigated, every single person that was part of this will be found sooner or later.... Some girls must be pinching washers by now.

I feel sorry for the guys that did fall victim to this and did end up paying .. they gonna end up being dragged into this again as the investigation unfolds.. b

Because the real cops will be looking for people to testify to make these charges stick..( just read the last two paragraphs of that English article)

I received a call from these thugs just yesterday morning and I have been wondering how they got my details, time to stop

No wonder they keep going. Did not realise they make this kind of money! Crazy!

Hope they find the girls that sell numbers too. And make them pay too. I'm really glad to hear some good news with this fake cop scam. Now it's time the girls get whats coming to them!

The issue here is that the punters are prepared to pay these crooks. If all the punters did not pay these guys then we would not have this problem
