Starlink scammers targeting South Africa

Beware Starlink scammers in South Africa

South African households and businesses looking to subscribe to Starlink should be wary of a flood of alleged scammers pretending to sell the satellite Internet service online.

Starlink has not launched in South Africa, so ordering a kit for the service directly from its official website for delivery in South Africa is impossible.

Did not take much time for the criminals to get up and running on this.
