JUST SAY GOODBYE TO FRAUD THIS INTERNATIONAL FRAUD AWARENESS WEEK (November 2025)

As we approach year-end, the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS) is raising awareness to empower people this International Fraud Awareness Week (16–22 November).

SAFPS CEO, Manie van Schalkwyk, warns that technology has become a significant battleground in the fight against fraud, and scammers are employing various tactics to turn consumers into victims.

Scammers use psychological tactics and impersonation, often creating a sense of urgency and fear, convincing victims that their accounts or devices have been compromised, that they are in trouble, or that there is an exciting opportunity for them. Victims are then pressured to provide one-time pins, banking credentials, grant access to their device, or even instructed to transfer money.
