Hello Darlings Founder and Managing Director, Tasneem Moosa, has deactivated social media accounts for her business.
This after several South Africans accused the alleged travel scammer of defrauding them. Her travel website, is still active but disgruntled travellers have not received feedback from Moosa regarding their fully-paid for holidays.
Sharing their stories to social media, people who fell for the holiday scam are seeking any information on Moosa and her whereabouts.
Managing her business solely via the website and Instagram, Moosa had received endorsements from local influencers. This is why most of her clients decided to use her to book their holiday packages once travel restrictions lifted.
Marketing herself as a business owner who wants to “empower women and motivate them to find themselves through travel,” Moosa set up enticing travel packages to attract clients.
Packages included fully inclusive trips to the Maldives, Las Vegas, London/Paris, Bali, Dubai and Mauritius.
Starting from R39 995 to R65 995, the Hello Darlings travel website made booking a dream holiday sound simple.

The problem was that Moosa never responded to queries once payment was made, according to an individual who booked a holiday via her platform.
Hello Darlings is accused of defrauding hundreds of South Africans of millions. Many who were affected by the travel scam are opening up a criminal charge against Moosa.
Attempts to reach Tasneem Moosa were futile as she has deactivated her business contact number which directs to a WhatsApp profile that is now invalid.



According to her LinkedIn account, Tasneem claims Hello Darlings has offices in Pretoria, Dubai and Istanbul.
She claims her travel business has been around for 5 years since February 2017, offering Femme Voyage packages to the UAE and Turkey.
Tasneem set up a different website for these travel packages under Femme Voyages.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that the alleged holiday scammer has left the country as there is no trace of her.
