Dude dont mess with these guys. Thet are real. Pay them the 15k they ask and go on with ur life. They arw not gonna stop calling u. Its gonna get so bad u wil have to quit ur job change ur number and leave south africa. Do it now while u stil got money. If u dont have the money come clean right now with ur wife and kids. This is not a joke. Cops ALWAYS calls ahead to the criminals to tell them they are going to be arrested. They giving u a head start.
Goodluck Hannibol.
U gonna need all the luck u can get.
Hannibol I hope you picked up the heavy sarcasm in this reply.
The reality is that these scammers are criminals in jail already, and they are in cahoots with people in cellphone companies so they know your name and details and make it sound authentic. Pay them once and they will "escalate" the situation, asking you for more and more money until you are sucked dry.
The first time this happened to me I just to drove to Sandton SAPS and they enlightened me. Best is to block them or just irritate the hell out of them until they stop calling. They are all fake, ranging from the fake cop names to fake advocates to fake Hawks.
What is NOT fake is they work with certain girls on sites like this who get kickbacks for every paying lead.
Plenty advice on this site. Number 1 is to get a punting phone with an unregistered SIM. You can get these from Pakistani phone shops. This way they will never who you are.
