This Valentine's Day, remember to not reply to unsolicited messages from random strangers looking for love. You will get fleeced!
It’s Valentine’s Day! Love is in the air but so are scams, so make sure you don’t fall in love with strangers on social media because they are out and about. That person you think is looking for companionship is actually only after one thing – no, not that, it’s money they’re after. Your money!
And there are so many different ways you can get scammed out of your coin by a posing paramour on Facebook or Instagram. So much so that Meta has warned users to watch out because this is happening all the time. We have the “When will my husband return from the war” scammers, the “Tom Cruise” scammers, and even the “Promise of love” scammer. All the warriors are out and they want your stuff. Keep an eye out on this day of romance.You know what’s not romantic? Not having any water. Johannesburg is smack dab in the middle of a water crisis, yes even after all the rain we just had.
