Speaking with Sowetan today, Makananisa stated he understood that numerous ladies were making a profession out of scamming guys. “What occurs is that a man satisfies a woman and he likes her. The discussion moves from social networks and dating apps to WhatsApp. They then want to see each other. The girl requests for cash for transportation, cash to do their hair and purchase brand-new gown due to the fact that she wishes to look great. We have a case where a man invested practically R10,000 on a date that never ever took place.

We then understood we would not have the ability to shoot all these cases for television episodes. We have actually considering that chosen that for all the males who were robbed for in between R50 and R250, we will deal with their cases for Facebook episodes. This indicates we will challenge the suspects on our Facebook page and hold them liable in public.” Among the victims of the rip-off from Mount Fletcher, Eastern Cape, informed Sowetan that he was scammed by a female he fulfilled in Mthatha. “I sent her R350 for transportation. She was expected to come on a weekend and she didn’t. When I asked the factor, she stated the taxi was taking too long to get complete and she returned house. She stated the very same thing a 2nd time. “I understood that I was being scammed. I then saw this program on YouTube and they helped me to get my cash back.
