I got the call from "Central" yesterday. Police scanner noises in the background. Claims a girl had been arrested and following up on where she got money from. He says she gave my name and number. I had done some enquiries about rates but have not visited anyone. So I laughed it off. This morning an "Afrikaans" woman sent me a FaceBook friend request. I could see all her friends were from Sierra Leone so blocked "her". I wonder if it's related to the call I got. People have tried to blackmail me before on FB with threats to send pictures to all my FB friends. But whatever, somehow these scammers are getting numbers from WGs and it's going to scare potential customers away from these sites.

Get yourself a punting phone ,SIM cards are freely available, then all this scam will stop

Well handled! You dont sound green to me at all :)

The best appointment you can make with a new WG is completely through the inbox system, it takes a while but it's worth it
