Cape Talk, Friday morning

By scams. I understand your burger business has been targeted by scammers. What happened? Good morning, Lisa. I was just listening to you as well on the radio about the scammers, and I was one of them. My name goes on to be Grace, but my business name is Benisha Tasty E. So, what happened actually is that the people place an order. First of all, before that, I had a real person.

Sending me orders, like saying that she needs burgers. It was actually a woman. She needs burgers and quarters and a lot of things. So I told her, It's fine, ma'am. How would you like your order to be delivered? You're going to deliver, I'm going to deliver it to you, or are you going to collect? And she was like, no, I'm going to collect it to your house. And I was like, okay, it's not a problem. You can come and collect. And she told me, no, can you do?

EFT and I told her, No, can we just stay on cash instead of EST? And she insisted. She was like, No, I needed to be on EST. So I told her, okay, no problem. And I gave her my banking details and I did everything that was possible. I did receive a message like the money came through. Proof of payment. But later on, later on, I just saw the money vanished and she already picked up the food. So the second one that I actually posted in.

Everywhere on all the group is this bulk order that I also received. Wow. From I don't know if I can give the numbers. No, no, let's hold it there. But how many burgers were ordered? This is a bulk. It's a bulk, yeah. And how much did that cost? About 3,000 rand. Wow. And they came to collect and the money disappeared. No, no, no. The guy actually ordered.
