The 11 Mayepisode of Carte BlancheÂuncovers a troubling evolution of a familiar scam, where police impersonators are now using elaborate tactics, including forged documents, staged video calls, and even hired actors, to deceive victims with alarming precision.
This new wave of fraud, marked by its theatrical flair and professional execution, highlights how scammers are constantly adapting to outsmart a more alert public. As these criminals operate swiftly and almost undetectably, the question remains: can law enforcement and the public keep up and bring them to justice?
Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
