Investigator Mike Bolhuis previously told The Citizen that in recent years, there has been a significant rise in these types of cybercrimes in South Africa.

Actress and producer Connie Ferguson recently took to Instagram to warn her followers after a scammer attempted to impersonate her.
The former Generations actress said she received a WhatsApp message from someone claiming to be “Connie Ferguson”. When she checked the number on Truecaller, it appeared as “Madonsela”.
The scammer then video-called her using an old clip from a live workout session she had posted during lockdown.
“After a few seconds, they dropped the call and texted, ‘You saw me, right?’” she said.
Connie made it clear that she does not offer any investment opportunities and urged her followers to remain vigilant.
