Fake cops using rape scam to get cash

This is South Africa. Sadly anything is possible, Criminals rule the roost. Now think about the guys with stolen cars getting phone calls from cops who "found" their car, a few is due for the towing back from the border. That's an inside job.

The more ones knows, the more you get a skrik.

Add some youngster, scared to tell his GF just in case she might believe it somehow. In this case he was with her, but the doubt aspect turns you into a victim.

Hey? What have stolen cars got to do with this scenario? It's not like they are going to go to jail for someone phoning them and saying their car was stolen.

And what do you mean, "in this case he was with her"? I thought he handed the phone over to his mom?

I referring to one of the scam scenarios where the cops are involved in some of the crap. Once you realize that some cops are also corrupt, anybody calling you claiming to be a cop may well be. That changes the picture for an innocent victim.

From the article, on the date the rape was meant to have taken place:
“Aside from the ‘I know my son couldn’t do that’ defence, the dates cited had been spent at home, with me and his girlfriend.

Why the big fuss?

The cops have been doing nothing about scams for year of when you report your car stolen, that you get a call from a fake police officer saying they found your car at the border but you have to pay to drive it back. That is a leak in the police system that the police know about but care zero about.

Now a guy visits a prozzie and is scammed by a fake caller who got inside info he visited the prozzie.

Are prozzies now more trustworthy than police officers for the article to claims this scam is shocking? That to me is the shocking part.

He is 25? While I get what you are saying, if it's over a phonecall I think he should know better. And people being arrested over false claims of rape normally know who their accusers are.

In this case, the 25 year old wasn't told the name of the accuser therefore, wouldn't have guessed.

Getting those phone calls from an obviously thick Indian accents saying they want to fix my computer are the best though.
If you haven't had one, you're missing out.

Got one of "those calls" a few years ago when I was working in IT, so obviously all my work colleagues wanted a turn. We kept the scammer on a call for over an hour and a half.
My mother also got a call and she handed the phone to me as I was at her house that day. Unfortunately some people fall for these scams.

I saw that coming, was just not certain who would open the door when I saw that post. Too many other examples in the mix in a topic with sex and girls, cops etc. The perfect ingredients. :ROFL: :laugh::ROFL:

That's my problem. It happened to me too. Police being corrupt and leaking our personal details when we are vulnerable is happens so often people don't write newspaper articles about it. But when a whore house leaks the client's cellphone number. Now that changes everything.

It's not the first time I "missed" calls from Pakistan/Indonesia before.

I read about scams whenever I have time. I've even tried scam-baiting at some point, without success. I don't even receive the 419 scam emails and sms's anymore.
