We are looking for people that have been victims of the below, and are willing to have their story aired in a segment on tv and then put online.

Transactions go off account without the customer’s authorisation because their PIN was easy to guess or the PIN had been shared with trusted loved ones.
- Online shopping scams – where customers purchase non-existent products. Customers also fall for ‘bargains’ at retailers/businesses that they are not familiar with.
- Vishing, phishing and smashing – Scammers call customers claiming that they are bank officials who want to help them stop a fraudulent debit order/money going off their account.
- Investment scams/business opportunity – Scammers trick customers via social media to invest in ‘too good to be true’ business scams that promise huge returns in a short space of time.
- Card swapping/ATM Fraud – Customers are distracted and scammed when withdrawing money from the ATM.
- Phone snatching and PIN safety – phones snatched while in conversation and their phones unlocked.
The respondents will be interviewed for roughly 15 minutes. We can offer R500 per completed interview subject to them signing a release form for the publishing of the video/stills to tv & internet.
