SA presenter, actor, fashion designer, speaker, model, creative consultant, voice over artist, philanthropist and business entrepreneur Maps Maponyane has warned his followers of a scam that has been misleading the public for over a year now.
Scams that use celebrities in South Africa are becoming increasingly common.
These scams often take the form of fake investment opportunities, cryptocurrency scams, or phishing attempts. In some cases, scammers may even create deepfake videos of celebrities to make their scams appear more legitimate.
NovusX is luring investors with Maps Maponyane’s identity. Maps took to social media to share that he is unaware of the organization and that they continue to take advantage of unsuspecting people.
“SCAM ALERT!!!!! This scam has been going on for almost a year now. Please please be careful. Have no idea who these people are or how they keep getting away with taking advantage of vulnerable people.” wrote Maps
