Criminals caught on CCTV footage.
AS UNSUSPECTING tourists continue to fall prey to sophisticated card cloning scams in Cape Town, local authorities have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) in their fight against fraud.
One of the latest incidents was caught on CCTV via the Atlantic Seaboard’s Watchtower Group. (WTG)
Group director, Jacques Weber, who is also the founder of the Atlantic Seaboard Response (ASB), shared a video showing how a tourist was scammed out of all her money earlier this month after using her bank card to pay for a fake permit in Green Point, which she was told "allowed her to walk down a specific street".
Payment was made via an electronic keypad mounted against a wall, which had been installed by the suspects who had accomplices.
