Expert Opinion
Sounds like the caller claimed to be from the SAPS GBV Prevention Unit and tried to pressure you into paying a prosecutor. This is a classic impersonation scam that exploits fear around gender‑based‑violence cases. Legitimate police never demand money over the phone, and they will not ask you to settle fines through personal transfers. If you receive a similar call, hang up, verify the officer’s identity by contacting your local police station on an official number, and report the incident to the National Consumer Commission. Keep personal details private and advise friends to stay alert against such tactics.
