This was posted to me: On Sunday morning, 2 Dutch girls had drawn money at the ATM outside Spar in Station Rd. A very well dressed African man (looked like a foreigner) was behind them. He then frantically told them to put their card in again, because of ----- (long story, couldn't hear properly). He had a wad of cash in his hand, was speaking to them urgently and was VERY convincing! They were starting to hesitate, were confused, wondering. Fortunately I saw what was happening, intercepted and told them "No, this is a scam". They then walked away and the man disappeared. I told the Spar manager to come out and send security, he said he would.
The young foreigners are very susceptible to this sort of thing, please be vigilant and warn them if you see this. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room TEL: 021-447-1066 or 072-063-1653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCIES: 10111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ONW email: o...@obs.org.za WEB: www.obswatch.org.za FACEBOOK: facebook.com/obswatch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Useful Obs Numbers: obs.org.za/obsdir You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
