"Earn R100k online!" "10x your money in 1 month!" Scammers don’t win because they’re smarter than you. They win because they understand you. They know how to create urgency. Curiosity. Excitement. Trust. By the time you realise it…it’s too late. Introducing: Slam the Scam. 🧵

Real influencer + fake opportunity = real loss. Don't let it happen to you or someone you know. #SlamTheScam #InfluencerScam

Before acting on any investment post, ask yourself: Does it sound good to be true? Do they want me to move to WhatsApp? Are they asking for crypto or an EFT to a personal account? If you answer yes to any of these, stop and verify.

Your favourite influencer just posted about a can't-miss investment opportunity. Guaranteed returns. Life-changing money. “Just DM to get started!” Hmmm….about that. 🧵

Keep the word off your phone and off the internet entirely. Say it out loud and memorise it among your family. The best defence against AI voice scams isn't technology. It's a plan and a slightly weird word. #SlamTheScam #AIScam

The fix? It’s simple. Invent a family safe word. Pick something random. "Thunderbolt". "Ninja turtles". "Braai tongs". The more obscure, the better. Anyone in your family calling in a crisis is first asked to give the word. If they can’t, hang up.

Did you know AI can clone your family member's voice from just a few seconds of audio? And scammers have absolutely figured out how to use it. Here’s how you can stop it by setting up one thing in your family. 🧵

Your R1000 is now completely "cleaned": nearly impossible to trace, and almost impossible to recover. Scammers are smart. But knowledge is power. Stay scam aware. #ScamAlert #FinancialLiteracy

Step 5: Finally, the money is withdrawn through exchanges, offshore accounts, or front businesses. It’s then invested in property or luxury goods, or reintroduced as "legitimate" income.

You sent R1000 to what looked like a brilliant investment opportunity. Spoiler alert: it was a scam. So where did your money actually go? Buckle up, buttercup. 🧵
