PROJECT: THE ILLUSION OF DEEPFAKE

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

In this era of technological marvels, SSS is compelled to address a pressing concern that has woven its way into the fabric of our digital existence: Deepfakes

It is critical to shed light on this intricate web of synthetic realities that poses a profound threat to our collective trust, privacy, and societal stability.

As technology hurtles forward, the duel between deepfake creators and detectors intensifies,

pushing both technologies toward unprecedented sophistication.

We stand on the precipice of a shift in societal trust dynamics, urging a re-evaluation of authenticity and an era of heightened scepticism.

PROJECT: KNOCKS AND SCAMS PERSISTENT CONFIDENCE TRICKSTER AWIE VAN ZYL

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

The SSS team has a group of expert investigators who are actively working to apprehend these criminals.

It is important to note that scammers are not limited to online platforms. They are everywhere and do not hesitate to scam and steal from people they have known for years. Such a lack of remorse for their actions is unacceptable.

One of our
clients had contacted Mr Mike Bolhuis for assistance regarding the owner of

AVZA Coal, Awie Van Zyl, who had sold coal to them, received payment for it but never delivered the product.

Unfortunately, in this case, despite our best efforts, we were met with empty promises and no genuine intention to repay the money taken.

PROJECT: THE DANGERS OF FAKE FIREARMS AND THE LAW

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

In South Africa, obtaining a firearms license can be a complicated and lengthy process, which drives some individuals to seek alternative methods of self-defence. One such method is to use fake pistols that shoot blanks or small pellets with realistic gun sounds. While these items may appear to be a quick and easy solution to personal safety concerns, they pose a significant risk to both the users and the public.

It is important to remember that the act of self-defence also needs to be reasonable. This is the most important underlying principle to keep in mind when in a position where you are forced to use self-defence.

PROJECT: PROFILE HACKING VS PROFILE CLONING

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

How to differentiate between the two and what you can do to combat the problem

Unfortunately, social media networks do not offer proper verification methods to avoid the cloning of accounts, but you do have options available to combat the problem.

Contact Cybersecurity professionals like the SSS specialists in this field, to assist you in safeguarding your online accounts.

PROJECT: ROAD SPIKING

NOTICE TO PUBLIC!

Mr Mike Bolhuis has been receiving numerous requests to comment on the recent road spiking incident involving the Transport Minister, Sindisiwe Chikunga, and her bodyguards on the
N3-highway near Heidelberg.

While it is unfortunate that this incident happened to the minister, it is essential to remember that many unsuspecting members of the public have experienced similar traumatic and sometimes fatal incidents.

In South Africa, it is the duty of the authorities to ensure the safety of all citizens and they must take responsibility for any failure in this regard.

Although this incident gained attention owing to the victim’s high-ranking government position, many others have also fallen victim to the same type of crime and their plight cannot be ignored

PROJECT: CYBER MONDAY WARNING 27 NOVEMBER 2023

NOTICE TO PUBLIC!

A huge spike in scam activity is expected!

Every year, people spend millions of Rand on online transactions on Cyber Monday. The increase in online activity in the buildup to the big day, combined with a “bargain hunting” mindset, has opened the door for scammers and other cybercriminals to flourish

Use common sense and make informed decisions.

People mostly get caught by scammers because they allow themselves to be trapped by emotional thinking and tunnel vision induced by greed and/or a lack of information. When you spot a good deal, investigate and contact the retailers directly.

NOTICE TO PUBLIC!

Staying proactive and vigilant is the key to avoiding Black Friday scams.

PROJECT: BUYING AND SELLING OF VEHICLES VIA FB MARKETPLACE AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

PROJECT: STREAMING FARMS IDENTIFYING AND SAFEGUARDING YOUR STREAMING EXPERIENCES

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

The emergence of “streaming farms” has given rise to concerns in the realm of
digital entertainment. These operations employ bots to artificially inflate stream counts on music and video streaming platforms, which could affect both content creators and listeners. We delve into the world of streaming farms and provide practical suggestions on spotting them and protecting your streaming experience.

Streaming farms are a network of devices, such as smartphones or computers. Their main goal is to play a specific song or piece of music to create the appearance of a large number of online listeners.

The issue of streaming farms challenges the authenticity and reliability of digital entertainment platforms. While certain methods exist to detect and address these practices, it is crucial for both users and platforms to work together in combating this issue.

PROJECT: GUSTAV KNIEP (PART 3)

NOTICE TO PUBLIC!

SSS has faith in the commitment of Mr Kniep to resolve the complaints against him and support him in his wish to create a new, commendable and lawful way forward.

We will monitor his progress and will keep all interested parties apprised of any changes.

PROJECT: STOLEN VEHICLES GIVE INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF VEHICLE HIJACKING SYNDICATES

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

Stolen vehicles found fitted with a fake licence disc and fake number plates have offered a glimpse into the manner in which hijacking syndicates operate and how easily they are able to get away with crimes because of technological advancements.

Technology allows syndicates to continue to stay one step ahead of the police. As soon as a new safety measure is implemented, criminals are able to work around it.

Like similar criminal organisations worldwide, vehicle hijacking syndicates in South Africa employ various strategies and tactics to steal vehicles and evade law enforcement. It’s important to note that these activities are illegal and harmful, and this explanation is intended for educational purposes only.

The Western Cape and Gauteng regions recorded the largest number of carjackings.

PROJECT: THE CONSTRUCTION MAFIA IN SOUTH AFRICA

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

In the intricate landscape of South Africa’s construction industry, an ominous presence looms large – the construction mafia. This clandestine network, comprised of organised groups wielding coercive tactics, intimidation, and sometimes violence, has cast a dark cloud over
building projects in the nation.

They employ a range of strategies, from extortion and threats to disrupting labour and engaging in sabotage. These people seek control over construction sites, leaving many companies in a precarious position

As the industry grapples with this complex issue, the vulnerability of construction projects to the influence of criminal elements comes into sharp focus. It demands a concerted effort to secure the foundations of South Africa’s construction sector.

By taking a comprehensive and proactive approach, construction companies
can reduce their vulnerability to construction mafias and create a safer working environment for their projects.

PROJECT: ONLINE TRANSACTION VERIFICATION ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION

WARNING TO PUBLIC!

Specialised Security Services recently assisted a client in saving what would have been a R398,000.00 loss, and this was possible because the client made use of our pre-transaction verification service.

A prevention is better than cure mindset is one that we highly recommend the public to adopt – as a precautionary measure, especially regarding online transactions and any new business-related transactions

How Cybercrime has escalated in recent years has led to millions of Rand
being lost to scams, especially
when it comes to scammers that operate online using social media advertising as well as “fake tender scam” that has been responsible for significant losses in the small to medium-sized business sector.

Specialised Security Services offers verification investigations to the public with the intention of identifying crime, fighting crime, and preventing crime.

PROJECT: SOUTH AFRICA -A MAFIA STATE

STOP THE MAFIA STATE!

South Africa faces a significant challenge
in the form of numerous quasi-criminal networks and syndicates.

These groups are involved in a variety of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, armed robberies, and fraud. These criminals have transnational connections, making the battle against them even more difficult.

According to the 2023 Global Organised Crime Index, South Africa is currently combating a multitude of quasi-criminal networks and syndicates that are operating on an international scale

The South African government and law enforcement agencies need to address the situation with comprehensive strategies, including law enforcement, anti-corruption efforts, and community engagement to counter organised crime and its impact on the country.

PROJECT: BULLYING AND THE LAW

STOP

BULLYING!

Our organisation, Specialised Security Services, has a dual objective.

WARNING TO

PUBLIC!

The anticipation and excitement surrounding the Cricket World Cup 2023 has reached a fever pitch, uniting cricket enthusiasts from around the globe. While this prestigious event is a celebration of sportsmanship and skill, it also provides fertile ground for online scammers seeking to exploit the fervour and enthusiasm of cricket fans.

Mr Mike Bolhuis requesting his assistance regarding Marius Jonck, who took money from them and promised to pay them back but never did.

Remember that confidence tricksters can be highly deceptive, and their tactics evolve over time.

If you suspect you are dealing with a confidence trickster, it is advisable to disengage and seek advice from trusted sources.

PROJECT: THE IMPACT OF VEHICLE HIJACKING ON THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

The high rate of carjacking in South Africa has a significant impact on the insurance industry.

This is primarily seen in terms of increased claims, rising costs, and adjustments to insurance policies and practices

Overall, the high rate of carjackings in South Africa presents challenges to the insurance industry in terms of financial stability and operational adjustments.

Insurance companies need to strike a balance between providing coverage and managing the associated risks.

Specialised Security Services is proud to invite the public to our highly anticipated WhatsApp Channel.

PROJECT: VEHICLE HIJACKING

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

Vehicle hijacking, often referred to as carjacking, is a significant concern in South Africa.

It is essential to have information regarding this issue to understand the context and take the necessary precautions.

South Africans are so conditioned to this type of crime that we are just relieved if we have not been taken forcefully along with the vehicle.

It is critical to be aware of the various dangers of car hijacking and how to keep yourself safe

Note how professionally and effectively these criminals go about their business.

Familiarise yourself with self-defense laws in your area so you know your rights and responsibilities if faced with a carjacking situation.

PROJECT: CORPORATE OR BUSINESS IDENTITY THEFT

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

SSS is on a continuous path to educate and inform the public against identity theft.

This includes individuals as well as companies or businesses. Victims are people with a business TAX number, from an individual proprietorship to a large corporation.

Corporate identity theft even includes international logos such as the Coca-Cola ribbon, Nike’s tick, and the jumping athlete on Jordans

In South Africa, criminals use longstanding businesses such as well-known Banks and SARS to sway potential victims into a sense of trust.

At the end of December 2022, the Federal Trade Commission believed that identity theft was costing the South African economy more than R1.5 billion per annum.

SUCCESS PROJECT: HANO FOURIE ARRESTED (PART 3) KNOCKS AND SCAM

PROJECT: CARD SKIMMING

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

Card skimming is a form of credit card fraud. It involves the illegal copying of data from the magnetic strip of a credit or debit card.

This stolen data is used to make unauthorised transactions or create counterfeit cards.
Card skimming can occur in various locations, such as ATMs, gas pumps, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and, in some cases, by dishonest employees at businesses where you use your card.

Card skimming is a growing threat to your financial security. Criminals use hidden devices to steal your card information and empty your bank account.

Customer protection strategies are at the forefront of banks’ efforts to curb ATM and related crimes, but to be effective they also require customers to do all they can to protect themselves

𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂!

In South Africa, as in many parts of the world, we often hear stories of hope, ambition, and aspirations for a better future.

For countless individuals, the dream of financial security is a powerful motivator, particularly in a nation where unemployment remains a pervasive challenge. It is in these dreams that opportunistic criminals find fertile ground to sow their seeds of deception.

We are committed to unmasking the perpetrators behind these schemes and bringing them to justice.

We are aware of the other Ponzi scams currently running in South Africa, and we are determined to put an end to this cycle of deception.

We urge you, the public, to come forward and assist us in this endeavour.

PROJECT: SEXUAL OFFENCES, CHILDREN AND THE LAW

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

In South Africa, the legal framework concerning sexual offences, children, and the law is designed to protect the rights and well-being of minors and hold perpetrators accountable.

A unique aspect of this framework is the concept of “consent age” and the recognition of “statutory rape” in the context of consensual sexual activity involving minors

It is important to note that statutory rape laws can vary by jurisdiction within South Africa, and legal details may evolve over time.

If you have concerns or questions about a specific case or situation involving statutory rape, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional who is well-versed in South African criminal law to provide guidance and advice tailored to the particular circumstances.

The age of consent is critical in South Africans’ shared commitment to fostering a safe and nurturing environment for our future generations.

PROJECT: THE UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A FIREARM AND AMMUNITION

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

Femicide and the unlawful possession of firearms are significant and interconnected issues in South Africa. Femicide refers to the intentional killing of women or girls because of their gender, and it is a severe form of gender-based violence. Unlawful possession of firearms contributes to the perpetration of violent crimes, including femicide.

Guns play a significant role in violence against women in South Africa, most notably in the killing of intimate partners. Statistics show that 80% of femicide victims attacked by their partner were killed by a firearm injury, mostly from a single gunshot to the head or face

SSS has dealt with many aspects of GBV and Femicide, as well as the possession of stolen or illegal firearms. It is also, therefore, important to look at the unlawful possession of a firearm – even if seemingly innocent, such as the inheritance
of a firearm.

PROJECT: STOLEN MERCEDES BENZ ACTROS MP2 AND CARGO

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

The vehicle was stolen on Saturday, 7 October 2023.

He contacted our client and demanded ransom money in exchange for the return of the truck and its cargo.

The circumstances surrounding this demand are still unclear, and we cannot confirm whether Peter Shoko was forced to make this call. No further communication has been received from him since then.

PROJECT: LEST WE FORGET RICHARD BARRY NEL

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

RACKETEER, FUGITIVE, THIEF, FRAUDSTER, INTIMIDATOR, ESCAPEE, FORGER, IMPERSONATOR, WANTED, CON ARTIST, MANIPULATOR, WANNABE GANGSTER & INCESTOPHILE

Although his health has diminished and
he does not have the financial clout and influence he previously had, he remains a danger to the public. He will continue to defraud, steal, and swindle people from their life savings, pensions, businesses and properties, resulting in suicides and penniless victims, even when he is not in South Africa.

Richard Barry Nel will always remain a racketeer, fugitive, thief, fraudster, intimidator, escapee, forger, manipulator and incestophile. He deserves only contempt, to face the full force of the law and to be convicted without any form of extenuating circumstances.

PROJECT: NAVIGATING THE PITFALLS OF TRADITIONAL HEALERS

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

In a world where spirituality and desperation often intersect, some individuals turn to traditional healers for answers and miracles. Beneath these promises of hope lies a dark reality.

SSS, other law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity experts in South Africa have been working endlessly to raise awareness about such scams and provide tips on identifying and avoiding them.

PROJECT: THE DANGERS OF TIKTOK FOR CHILDREN UNDER 18 PROTECTING THE YOUTH OF SOUTH AFRICA

IMPORTANT TO

IMPORTANT TO

PUBLIC!

Is there a connection between mobile banking apps’ facial recognition and kidnappings in South Africa?

A very large percentage of these kidnappings were committed for financial gain.

Over the past 36 months, kidnappings in South Africa have increased

According to studies, more than 40 % of all young people in South Africa have been victims of abuse of some kind during a stage of their lives. According to the latest crime statistics, 319 children were murdered in South Africa between October 2022 and December 2022, while a further 2039 were victims of physical assault. Most of these children were harmed by people who were known to them and were supposed to protect them.

Solar panels play a crucial role in harnessing clean and renewable energy, contributing to a greener future and reduced carbon emissions. Needless to say, the ever-increasing levels of loadshedding has led the public to invest in these expensive alternatives.
