In case you missed it this morning, our CEO, Mr. Douglas Sekgweng, was hosted by Roberta on Duma FM, where he educated and warned the public about the growing threat of Romance Scams.

Romance scams can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or education level. Scammers use emotional manipulation, fake love, and false promises to gain trust before asking for money or sensitive information.

Watch the interview to learn how these scams work, the warning signs to look out for, and how to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Stay alert. Verify before you trust. Report suspicious activity.
