Several calls arrive from 051 111 0796 and WhatsApp messages from 079 703 9392 alleging they possess a recording from a Locanto adult profile and intend to forward it to multiple parties. I hang up and block. Anyone else receiving these and aware of 'traces' from acquaintances? This is a complete scam and should be reported to cyber security authorities and SAPS.

Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a threatening call that plays a recording of a supposed sex conversation and demands R1794 to avoid a court case. This is a classic extortion scam that uses fabricated debt claims and intimidation tactics. Hang up immediately, do not provide personal details or make any payment. Block the number through your handset or a call‑blocking app, and report the incident to your mobile provider and the police. Keep screenshots of WhatsApp PDFs and any caller ID info as evidence. Warn friends and family, especially those who may be less tech‑savvy, and stay vigilant for spoofed numbers that mimic legitimate services.

A call claimed to be from Adele, playing a recording of a prank I made in December. She asserted the call happened in September and that I verbally consented to opening an account costing R1794.00. The conversation lasted about two minutes, though she said ten. She requested my email and sent a WhatsApp message plus a PDF threatening a rise to R50 000 if I didn’t pay by tomorrow noon. I reported it; they sent screenshots of similar complaints. I’m seeking arrest of this fraudster, will verify the Capitec account details and inform police. Last year I laughed at the absurdity, now this “lawyer’s office” demands payment for a verbally signed account. Anyone made progress?

Fraudulent call – please block this number.
