    Have you ever been scammed?

    If you live in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town or the Atlantic Seaboard, you must surely have come across the Kumar scamsters. The first method they used was to park their car or bike next to the road and get out and stand there. It wasn't long before a Good Samaritan stopped and offered...
