Mr. Mike Bolhuis of Specialised Security Services frequently receives distress calls from concerned individuals who have been targeted by police impersonators claiming there is a warrant for their arrest. These fraudsters often collaborate with sex workers, falsely accuse their victims of crimes they never committed, and then use intimidation tactics to extort money for their own financial gain.
Many victims of police impersonation scams involving sex workers choose not to report the crime due to feelings of shame, fear, and embarrassment. The stigma surrounding encounters with sex workers often discourages victims from coming forward, as they worry about judgment from family, friends, and even law enforcement. This reluctance allows perpetrators to continue their scams unchecked, exploiting new victims with the same deceptive tactics.
Additionally, the psychological impact on victims is profound. Many experience extreme fear, anxiety, and trauma,
especially when faced with threats of public exposure, criminal charges, or even physical harm. The intense stress of such situations often leads victims to comply with the scammers' financial demands rather than risk further humiliation
or perceived legal consequences.
MODUS OPERANDI:
CONTACT:
The perpetrators initiate contact with a victim via WhatsApp message, phone call, or SMS.
They often pose as "Detectives" or "Investigating Officers" from the South African Police Service (SAPS).
Perpetrators use stolen identities and online photos, which they are able to manipulate to their needs.
FALSE ACCUSATIONS:
The scammers claim to have an arrest warrant for the victim on serious charges like prostitution, assault, or sexual assault.
These charges are designed to create panic and fear.
OFFER HELP:
They then offer to "help" the victim by making the charges disappear if the victim sends them a sum of money, typically ranging from R1000 or more.
They may ask for payment via EFT or eWallet.
KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER:
The SAPS does not operate this way and would not typically contact someone unannounced with an arrest warrant, especially for serious offences.
If you receive such a call or message, be sceptical.
Ask yourself if you have actually committed the alleged crime.
If you are unsure, do not engage with the scammer.
Never send money to anyone claiming to be from SAPS or law enforcement under these circumstances.
Take note of the caller's phone number, the details they provide, and any threats made.
If possible, record your calls and keep a record of all other communication.
If you believe you have been a victim of this scam, contact SSS Specialised Security Services' Mr Mike Bolhuis.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.
STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
