Joining us is Nazia Karrim, Head of Product Development at the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service.
Since 2023, South Africa has increasingly found itself in the global spotlight—not for its natural beauty or
economic strides, but as a growing hotspot for
sophisticated fraud.
Elaborate scams are being carried out with such
precision that even the most vigilant among us can
find ourselves caught off guard. One particularly
alarming trend has seen criminals posing as
members of the South African Police Service, using
intimidation tactics to extract personal and financial
information from unsuspecting victims.
Today, we’re speaking to an expert from the
Southern African Fraud Prevention Service to unpack
this disturbing trend.
