Don’t fall prey to international travel agency ‘Hello Darlings’ scam

It was last reported that more than 200 cases have been opened against the CEO of Hello Darlings after scores of clients lost out on thousands of rands, which they paid for expensive holidays at luxurious destinations across the world.

Police wish to urgently warn the public regarding an international travel scam by a travel agency called ‘Hello Darlings’ which is circulating on social media and other platforms.

Police spokesman Captain Petros Mpinge said communication usually occurs through WhatsApp and money is transferred to the suspect’s account.

Thereafter contact cannot be made with the travel agency and accounts have been closed. The public is warned not to fall prey to this scam.
