South Africans lose billions of rands to scams every year. In most cases they’re unaware or under informed about the constantly changing scam landscape. In others, they know they’re involved in a scam but are too ashamed to ask for help getting out of it.
Enough is enough.
It’s time to take our power back from scammers. How? Democratising financial crime expertise and knowledge for all.
In a bold move to fight back against scammers, Capitec has founded Slam the Scam, an independent fraud awareness initiative dedicated to helping South Africans take their power back by staying informed and ahead of scams.
Scams are packaged to feel exciting, full of urgency, opportunity, and “too good to miss” moments. Fraud education on the other hand, has traditionally felt the opposite: flat, cautionary, and easy to ignore. But what if it didn’t have to be?
